Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

I see the city is placing ITS signs in the right of way. When it was other folk's signs they had an employee pull them. I guess they live by different rules that us common folks.

Since when?

Since when has Fix and Co. played by the rules?

Your tax dollars at work

For the First
Time in 32 Years . . .


Pickerington voters will be asked to raise the income tax rate to continue
to provide funds for an excellent police force, park and recreation
opportunities, street improvements and other critical City services.

► The other options considered to maintain our City services, such as a police
property tax levy or a property tax levy for street maintenance, would have
had a negative impact on every household ?– this solution mainly impacts the
people who are employed at Pickerington businesses.

► It is estimated that over 80% of our residents would NOT be impacted by the
proposed increase primarily due to the fact they would receive a credit for
the taxes they pay if they live in Pickerington and work in another City with
an income tax rate higher than 1.5%.

► The Ohio Department of Taxation reports that our community is among the
very few cities that have been able to maintain a 1% tax rate. Since most of
our residents are paying a rate of at least 1.5% where they work, our
proposed increase will NOT raise their total income tax.

► The proposed tax issue will NOT impact those in our community who are
retired or are on fixed incomes. Social Security, military, pension, dividend
and interest income would continue to be exempt from the City?’s income tax.

► The passage of this issue will help to determine the future of our community
-- the voters must approve any change to our income tax rate. City Council
chose this solution as the fairest way to generate the required revenues to
maintain our current level of services and to address our long-term
infrastructure needs, such as street maintenance and storm sewers.

► When you vote on November 4th, please remember that the income tax
increase will be used to support:

► parks and recreation

► bike paths and sidewalks

► police services

► street maintenance and improvements

► debt payments for projects completed
in prior years

What part of..........?

To the next poster up - great job with the coding. Need a job?

To the first two posters, which part of stupid do you find you most closely resemble??

Issue 14 is a CITY issue so of course the CITY can place signs in CITY owned space that candidates for offices are not allowed to.

Don't the school put signs on their property when they are running an issue?

Get a grip.
