CPS LEVY RESCIND
IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS CHANGED COURSE TO ADDRESS A MASSIVE FISCAL DEFICIT AMID COMMUNITY CRITICISM. 
JUST ONE WEEK AGO, THE CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION VOTED TO APPROVE AN EARNED INCOME TAX BALLOT ISSUE FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. THE RESPONSE FROM COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM BOTH PARTIES WAS MARKED BY HARSH CRITICISM AND A DEMAND TO RESCIND THE APPROVED MEASURE. YESTERDAY (MONDAY), THE BOARD VOTED 6 TO 1 TO RESCIND THE ISSUE AND INSTEAD MOVE FORWARD WITH A TRADITIONAL 7-MILL PROPERTY TAX LEVY THAT WOULD COST HOMEOWNERS $245 PER $100,000 HOME VALUE PER YEAR.
