Oberlin Council Rejects Move For Sales Tax On All Utilities
Oberlin officials considered an ordinance to levy a five percent gross income tax on city utilities to fund a capital improvement program. The measure drew mixed support and failed to pass as council members debated earmarking utility funds versus broader taxes. Proponents argued it would jumpstart needed projects, while opponents warned it siphons utility funds and amounts to a hidden tax. Several council members did not attend, and a vote was postponed for further discussion.
