选民批准或否决税收征收和哥伦布市宪章修正案
Read, Watch or Listen
Cincinnati-area and statewide localities saw ballot decisions this week as voters approved and rejected several tax levies and a Columbus charter amendment. On Tuesday's primary, North College Hill voters rejected a 1.25% earned income tax and other districts presented levies, while Washington Township and Columbus saw measures pass in early tallies and precinct reporting. In Cincinnati, North College Hill faces continued budget strain after March layoffs and a $2 million shortfall; Washington Township early results showed 61% support for a 0.9-mill levy to fund three positions. In Columbus, voters approved a charter amendment with 77% support this week, enabling 24/7 nonpolice response teams with phased implementation beginning in 2028 and full operation by 2030.

选民批准的征税将使学区、图书馆系统、警察部门和哥伦布 911 替代项目能够根据各项措施所述的用途和时间表，维持或扩大人员配置、设施和非警务响应团队。
在征收失败的地区，居民将面临项目削减、人员减少和服务缩减的可能，而在通过地区，纳税人将看到财产税适度增加，以资助运营和资本需求。
