Levies Aim to Benefit Seniors and Children on Nov 2 Ballot
Clermont County voters on November 2 face two half mill levies to support Senior Citizens Services and Children's Services for five years. Officials warn federal funding cuts loom, risking reduced home care, nutrition, and casework, with six to eight funded workers currently handling many cases. A recent Institute of Human Services study is ongoing, while prior levy language issues and block grant setbacks have shaped current pleas for funding.
