I don't believe that property taxes should be taken off the table as a component of revenue, but I do think income taxes need to become part of the mix, especially as our community ages.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960574627644930183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-88968379013520348622013-11-25T11:39:38.723-05:002013-11-25T11:39:38.723-05:00Paul,

All additional money should be driven from income tax (earned)<br /><br />Those who still have children in the system would pay. In addition people who move to hilliard for the schools and move out when children graduate might stay. Retired people might also move into district because they would know a fixed cost on school tax.<br /><br />In addition the the growth of funds would be inline the commnity as a whole. Workers income go up more money for schools, community wages stay flat or down, well you see the relationship. As the tax payers go , so goes teachers wages. Then they give a small base increase then go to pay for results.

The only cap is on the overall revenue from the levy. Using the example [pl-from his handout referenced above], for the taxpayer who would otherwise pay $2,091 to not have to pay more than $2,000, that taxpayer would have to pay at a different tax rate than other taxpayers who would have to make up the $91. There cannot be different tax rates under the Constitution.</em><br /><br />So I believe my illustrations are accurate.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960574627644930183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-12374923236593022582013-11-21T11:51:36.571-05:002013-11-21T11:51:36.571-05:00Thanks.

But I have to admit that the tax sections of the ORC are sometimes very hard to understand. <br /><br />I'll see if Mr. Sobul can clarify and report back.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960574627644930183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-44803747431590446792013-11-21T11:21:57.234-05:002013-11-21T11:21:57.234-05:00Wonderful piece Paul, thank you.

Very illustrative indeed! <br /><br />Just a shame it took 37 years after passage for someone involved in the school district to take the time and explain it ... :-(<br /><br />Although I think the adjusted tax for home 1 is incorrect; it should be capped at the limit since the original levy can never collect more than $70 on that property as that was the dollar value associated with the voted millage at that time.Mnoreply@blogger.com
