Recent polling indicates that an overwhelming majority of Americans, including me, oppose the U.S. becoming directly involved in the Israel-Iran conflict. In addition, Congress was neither consulted nor granted the opportunity to approve the June 21 strikes on Iran, as required by both the Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Act.
This war with Iran was instigated by a President who has repeatedly shown poor judgment—just consider his erratic tariff behavior as one example.
Proposed bill would reduce County's annual general fund revenue budget by 20%
LETTER PROVIDED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE ADA ICON__The Hardin County Commissioners, with respect, would like to convey their thoughts concerning House Bill 335. Needless to say, as written, Hardin County opposes House Bill 335 as introduced with the elimination of inside millage, which is currently 2.8 mills. The effect of this change would be a reduction of approximately 20% of the County's Annual General Fund Revenue Budget. To compensate for that, the state is recommending adding up to an additional 1% sales tax, but it would need voter approval. Hardin County's greatest fear is the inability of our Hardin County citizens to pass a sales tax increase, no matter what the percentage increase is. Our suggestion would be to have any tax increase to offset House Bill 335 Inside Millage reduction would be mandated by the State of Ohio. Without this revenue, Hardin County would be forced to make annual cost reductions to our General Fund by 20%.
The next meeting of the Park Board is July 21, 2025
