Ballot plan seeks half mill levy for elderly services in Franklin County
A seven county area faces a proposed half mill levy on the upcoming ballot to fund an aging service program for the elderly. Five percent of registered voters backed the measure through a petition drive. Funds would start with transportation and later nutrition, with the exact use decided by a local aging council and the seven county board. The proposal prompts questions on a special tax for seniors and notes similar levies exist for history preservation and weed control. The levy would raise about $27,500 given current valuations, aiding residents who have funded various local programs and services over the years.
