THIS COUNTY IN TAIN COLUMN FROM TAX SPLIT
State Auditor Joseph T. Tracy explained the unusual condition noting larger counties draw trade from smaller adjacent counties raising tax collections that would otherwise stay in smaller counties. Cleveland and other large cities attract spending away from small counties, causing distribution losses. Cuyahoga county received 8,854,603 instead of 10,026,397. Van Wert county got 126,955 versus 141,222.
