Primary tax vote delayed as deadline pressure mounts
The article reports that commissioners cannot place a 0.5 percent sales tax increase on the ballot due to time constraints. They must advertise two weeks and hold two public hearings before March 19, while missing the Feb. 20 filing deadline. The tax would fund county law enforcement with about 6.9 million more dollars, raising the rate from 5.5 to 6 percent. Senate President Stanley Aronoff says the delay is to ease legislative pressure as a Senate-approved plan for 19 new districts lingers amid a federal court ruling in Akron.
