Yesterday's election results were an interesting read in the newspaper today.
The most interesting two issues affecting Liverpool Township were a surprising comparison.
On the ballot were the following:
Vote for the Jilbert Winery to have Sunday Wine Sales Yay or Nay- results proved to be Yay
Vote for the Buckeye Schools levy Yay or Nay - results proved to be Nay.
Although I know Mr. Jilbert and have been to his winery many times, it just seems frivilous to pass this ballot item and defeat the school levy. The levy was not an increase in taxes.
I wish the residents of this community would realize...the quality of the schools will dictate part of the value of the property. No one wants to purchase a home for the prices that this community is expecting if the schools are not great.
Spend a little, save a lot!
Don't even go to the place where "how much is your education worth"!

I agree with what you said but while a levy isn't an increase in taxes, it is a fixed amount.
The other side of the coin is, how many generations of children do we who are childless have to educate?
And what of parents who home school?
Everyone should pay their share, but paying forever seems a bit much, especially when apartment dwellers with children don't have to pay at all.
Senior citizens come to the polls in big numbers and they don't like levies, bonds or anything else that deducts from their fixed incomes.
I can understand both sides but think our system is archaic.
