"THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD" beatles

Painesville has a long and winding road, actually it's more of a triangle State St. to the east Erie St. to the north. Washington St. to the south.
Why bring this up? Two reasons do any of you know how much vacant office space is along and inside this triangle? The future two levies on the extra costs to property owners along with the lost income tax due to these vacancy's.
Chicago Title building,  111 Building, 153 E. Erie St. (county property)125 E. Erie St. !0 W. Erie St.
50 W. Erie St. 70 W. Erie St. Chase Bank Building ( Like to know what skunks works project is operating on the third floor?). Victoria Place? Dollar Bank Building, along with much more office space in the Main St. area.
 Will raising property taxes increase office space? Will it make it harder to lease out? How many dollars in income tax will the city never see due to the levies?

Remember also with the millage increase, the State of Ohio will not include the 12.5% rollback due to it being these are 'NEW' levies increasing the cost. That 12.5% includes you homeowners also.( Thank-you Mr. Governor)
We can only hope the backers of these levies will inform you of this. So that you can make the best  financial  decision for your family. Levies, Income taxes? It like a dog chasing his tail.

Now every candidate who runs for office must explain their idea's and solutions if these Levies fail. Cut Services, End Reciprocity, New funding idea? Look it was mention in an older post about finally getting people with brains? First idea hire a Grant Writer! Eliminate an administration position to pay for it. (No one said this job would be easy)
Before you elect any candidate who has great credentials, nice smile, a list of endorsements, even a clever slogan. Find out what all these people have for in a  plan for Painesville's and your future!
