S...I pretty much agree with all of Paul'suspicions. Sounds like more of the same - unfunded mandates. The governor cannot pull off hardly any of his plan at even the current tax rates, and given the current economy, tax revenue will be falling even more before it gets better. Residential property taxes in Franklin County remained flat this year due to the Auditors decision to not change property values; so much for addressing "phantom revenue". Now, commercial property did NOT receive the same treatment, which lends even more importance to the city pursuing commercial development. Then again, you can only tax the commercial base so much before they will start looking elsewhere.<BR/>The state of Ohio has already lost<BR/>business development due to the high taxes and difficulty of doing business and this is not going to get better any time soon. I see nothing in his plan that will help the HCSD, with possibly the exception of the tenure issue, and that will be an interesting battle between the districts and the respective unions.Hillirditehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04502059362611692461noreply@blogger.com
