The Health Levy

Council approves health levy for fall ballot

MIDDLETOWN — City voters will decide whether they want to pay more property tax as Middletown City Council voted to place a 0.5-mill health district levy on the November ballot.

The levy initiative, approved by a vote of 6-1 during city council’s meeting Tuesday night, will ask voters to approve the 10-year proposal.

The lone dissenting vote on the levy measure, Councilman Josh Laubach, said there has to be other ways to maintain public health services in Middletown besides levies.

“I’m not in support of this for various reasons,” Laubach said. “I think we have to go about this a different way than putting tax initiatives on the ballot.”


THANK YOU MR. LAUBACH. THE ONLY ONE ON COUNCIL WHO CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATES THAT HE IS THINKING OF THE PEOPLE HE REPRESENTS.
KINDA DISAPPOINTED WITH MS. SCOTT-JONES ON THIS ONE.

Hell will freeze over before I vote Yes for any levy.As in Mullethead wanting another term as Mayor.

Bo.....I saw one gentleman working the people at the 4th of July parade on N Verity Pkwy trying to get petition signatures for a run at council. I did not recognize him. What little I did hear was he wasn't happy with council or the city manager.Unfortunately he got away before I could talk with him & probably sign his petition.

Young Mr. Luabach should be the next mayor he is the only one with common sense in this disaster we call Middletown . No jobs unless you want to work in fast food or a convienience store.deplorable streets empty houses. Our mayor and council worry about street lights and Cincinnati State putting the burden on us property owners. Where does the money come from if no one has a job to pay for all your extravagant wants Mr Mulligan and council. I have seen money wasted he e for almost 40 years at the tax payer and property owner expense millions .Items like the city center mall ,lake middletown, the revitalization of downtown most of which is vacant. you have wasted enough money to fixed all the streets and kept our police force and fire dept filled with qualified police and firemen. Wake up  we need more important things than a art center and buying all these properties for a proposed college that hasn't commited as yet. Quit wasting our money cause it looks as if we are about to have a house cleaning down town next election.

I agree on Laubach!!!!
