Similar events marked the closings of Homerville School and Spencer Middle School as officials sold the three campuses last year to fund an $8.5 million new elementary school.

Lawmakers skeptical on auto tag fee hike and patrol funding
The second ranking Republican in the Ohio House questions House support for a license fee increase or removing the State Highway Patrol from gasoline tax funding. Gov Voinovich proposes replacing about 170 million in gas tax money used by the patrol with highway work funding as options include general revenue funds bonds or cutting other programs. Ohio has 10.7 million registered vehicles and a $15 fee increase would raise about 160 million, while the patrol currently relies on roughly 150 million of its 169 million budget from the gasoline tax.
