Defeat of levy costs Oak Hill two city jobs
Oak Hill voters rejected a special levy on June 9, forcing the layoff of two city employees. City Manager W. R. Bennet said a $12,500 annual request over three years would have funded streets and sewers and preserved staff. Without the levy, about $10,000 remains for next year, with nothing for recreation. James Nix and John Ferri are laid off, though temporarily assigned to a South Hills sewer project funded by the Sanitary Board and area residents.
