Correspondence with Citizen

This blog is an attempt at honest, transparent communication with Mariemont's Citizens, with a goal of an educated, informed vote on 11/3.

You asked about a 1/4 point reduction in earning tax exemption. No one likes tax increases, but I would support it if that's what the Citizens decide is best. And I'd try hard to know their wishes by survey, committee participation, speaking at council, etc.

=========================
Hope you get lots of good suggestions. My main one is that the village should reduce the earnings tax credit by 1/4 percent. I'd like your reaction to that, as obviously you would be affected.

  1. Cortney here - need to preface the above conversation: A Citizen offered up ideas to close the budget gap. If this gap remains after November's vote, any and all ideas are worth investigating. And if the Village Residents would rather have higher taxes than cut spending, I would go along with it.
