"HIT THE ROAD JACK" ray charles
S.O.S B.S.
Painesville Pride October issue is out. The back page interested me the most. A full page on the Painesville Street Improvement Levy. Paid by Citizen for Better Roads.
I know I've gone over this territory before but the cost to the average homeowner (based on $75,000 home) What about those homes in Heisley Park costing $210,000? And they have new streets, What affect will these taxes have on Avery-Dennison or the businesses in Renassance Business Park least we forget the future of the Shamrock Business Park. Think about it?
Over 15 million in bad roads? and $655,000 a year?
Now how many years to get caught up and each winter adds to the 15 million? Sorry, we still will need that front-end alignment for $79.00 for along time to come.
New streets help to attract new business-industry and homeowners that help create new JOBS.
The highest taxes in the county will drive business - industry and homeowners out of town or not even come into town, losing JOBS. It's a two-edged sword People.
The funding generated from the Street Improvement Levy would provide matching funds for grants.
You can prove this how?
Property tax is DEDUCTIBLE off your income tax.
Which income tax, City, State, Federal and how please explain?
The funds generated from the Street Improvement Levy cannot be used to subsidize salaries of employees, repair or purchase equipment.
But can the money presently in the city budget for roads be eliminated and used for those purposes?
The one that bothers me the most.
The passage of the Street Improvement Levy will HELP preserve the City's income tax RECIPROCITY benefits.
Not WILL preserve but why use the word help? This to me is a form of "blackmail' and every candidate that is running in November should state where they stand on the future of Reciprocity. This along if the try to sneak this in before the new council is seated all council person should realize they might be subject to recall. Wonder why on the Charter Review # 11 states you must need more signatures to seek removal of a councilman?

In the same paper Lori Dinallo had an ad for running for council. It mentioned her accomplishments as well as her goals.
The one thing missing was her promise to serve all four years. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice. Don't even try.
I was going to write concerning that last page in the Painesville Pride.
You beat me to it.
Your thoughts mirror mine almost point for point.
There are so many half truths and outright falsehoods that I can believe they published them.
Glad you called them out.
What about that over-the-top photo used in the ad? Are we to believe that this will happen to someone's vehicle if the levy isn't passed? If the powers that be want to scare us into voting for the levy, at least use a tactic that's more plausible than a giant sinkhole.
Charter review #11 actually lowers the requirement to remove a council person in a ward. It used to be 20% for any council person, it is now 20% of the ward for a ward council person.
You should read more carefully before passing on incorrect information.
What about a council-at-large challenge? 15% to 20%? You may be correct but why word it the way they do?
Again, read the charter, Council-at-large is already 20%.
I see NO$ signs showing up in town. How do I get one?
7:42 There is a POC meeting at Morley Library Wednesday night at 6:30. Mr. Carson will attend and after the meeting I'll do my best to hook you up with a sign.
2:30 According to state law which Painesville follows ... unless the charter is different. State Law calls for 15% not 20% why the difference?
