Another School Levy?
Ohio’s property tax crisis is real; its school funding crisis is real. By law, our public schools will be perennially underfunded, as revenues will, seemingly by design, never keep up with costs (how the costs of labor and materials ever-rise in the economy while revenues are purposefully capped). It’s why so many school districts, not just Orange, have to constantly go back to the voters for money.
