'LIGHT MY FIRE" doors

Drove by the City of Painesville 125 year old Electric Generation Campus Museum yesterday.
Heard a sound I hadn't heard in quite awhile, seems the cooling tower were operational? Seems we are presently receiving coal also. My guess by Monday Painesville might be in the power generation business again.
Let's hope no retraining is necessary.
"Fire it up"

Safety Committee met last night in courtroom 1 looking to pass a fire levy of around 2.7 mils.
In a co-operative purchase for a new aerial fire truck  to be shared with Concord Twp.

During the conversation the road levy came up. This with the knowledge that Painesville has more than 15 million dollars of road repair needed presently. You wont fix much with a levy that only raises around $300,000 a year. What say a 11 mil. levy.

What does the fire and road levy have to do with each other? I don't understand? You are saying 300,000.00 a year but what would the millage be?

6:46 They will probably be on the same ballot in November with God knows what other ones.
When you have a reported 15 million dollars in category 3,4, and 5 a small levy like the one proposed last November wouldn't make much difference.
I will work on the amounts of the levies and how much they will generate in dollars when/if council decides to put either on the ballot.

Speaking of levies, has the school cancelled theirs? There was to be a couple of meetings for the levy and they were cancelled. This sounds like they are pulling the plug again just like before?

So I guess you and Andrew are happy that through all your complaining we are now producing power at a cost HIGHER than we can buy it?
Solution's such as these break the bank Buddy.

well lets say you needed 15 million dollars to fix the roads and you wanted to fix them over five years.
6.0 mill will get you a million dollars in Painesville.
18.mil for a year will get you 3 million dollars.
Do this for five years and you get to 15 million dollars.

Now 18.mil a year would cost a homeowner of a $100,000 house an additional $405.00 a year. Good-Luck with that one.
Best guess the city might ask for 6.mil over 20 years on a tax I can promise you will never go away. Just like the schools tell you it's a renewal not an increase in taxes. neither do they tell you if the renewal would fail it would be a saving of %140.00 on a $100,000 home.
