For about 30 years, Northwestern Local Schools have received almost $3 million a year from a local income tax. But that could change come election day. The 1.25% continuing income tax was passed in 1989. The revenue goes into the district's general operational costs, which pay for needed supplies and the salaries of school employees. Local Seth Imhoff petitioned to put the repeal on the ballot.
They didn't respond to those requests but did share information on how this repeal would affect them. The district said it would have to reduce costs by $2.9 million, which would mean about 30 to 40 staff members would have to be cut along with operation reductions. The school could also replace the tax revenue with a new levy. It would cost a $100,000 homeowner $416.50 annually. Finances and education are the driving decisions of voters News 5 spoke with as they headed to the polls.
