FOCUS Special Report - A Safety Plan or Jail Tax?
Kathy Lehr moderates a discussion between Commissioners Pat DeWine and Todd Portune about Issue 27 and what the resulting sales tax increase will mean to the citizens of Hamilton County.
Issue 27 is a referendum to determine whether a sales tax increase enacted by the Hamilton County Commissioners will stand as law or be rejected by the voters. If approved, sales taxes would increase from 6.5% to 7.0% for eight years (2008-2015) then to 6.75% for seven years (2016-2022) to finance the Comprehensive Safety Plan (CSP).
