Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Page 24, not page 20

Sorry - I was in such a rush that I mis-typed the page number of the 'commercial' development zone.

You forgot a few

Let us not forget that the township uses the County sheriff for police protection which is funded in part from the taxes the city residents pay through their property taxes. I believe in the last few weeks I saw a number of COUNTY trucks plowing township area roads which is also funded in part by city property taxes. The township also get portions of sales taxes, gasoline taxes, and license plates taxes. The city gets portions also but they must maintain their own roads even the state highway running through the middle of town.

One last point is the the entire project for the Diley Road widening was around $21 Million. The 80% that the state is picking us is for the actual contrustion of the 3.1 mile section. Before the road could be widened it need nearly $4 MIlion to complete the northern terminus and the came at a cost of 100% city to the City of Pickerington. So out of a $21 MIllion project the state is picking up $11 or so million.

AWESOME!

Your statistics are AWESOME! I guess it is no mystery who posted the thread with no numbers to back their ''so called intelligent comments'' up! Us City-folk seem to be alittle more educated in the 'ole math department.
