Election 1983 urges residents to vote yes on a 3.6 mill Milford school levy to fund competitive salaries, new textbooks, libraries, repairs, and new buses. It argues passage boosts school quality and overall community well being, with the cost about 18 cents daily for the average homeowner and potential red ink without it.
The text argues Issue Two would amend the Ohio constitution to require a 60 percent vote in each legislative house to alter state tax laws, allowing a minority to block majority will and promoting pork-barrel tactics. It contrasts Issue Two with Issue Three, noting the latter would repeal prior tax reforms, with outcomes lasting months unless Issue Two is defeated.
Melinda Voris laments the decline of leaf piles and bonfires once central to autumn celebrations. She recalls the old practice of gathering leaves, lighting a pile, and roasting marshmallows, contrasting it with today’s disposal in plastic bags and the view that leaf burning is antisocial and polluting.
