REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio – Voters in Reynoldsburg had the opportunity Tuesday night to hear from candidates who want their support on Election Day.
The Franklin County Consortium for Good Government sponsored a forum that included candidates for Reynoldsburg City Council, Truro Township Trustees and the Reynoldsburg School Board.
NBC 4’s Colleen Marshall was the moderator for the forum.
Not surprisingly, the first question to the school-board candidates focused on the $9.9-million levy and what happens if voters were to reject a tax hike for the third time.
Only one candidate opposed the levy.
“I mean, you have to cut. The state requires that we balance the budget every year. We have to cut programs and services. Do I want to see that happen? Absolutely not. I don't want to see students have to give up more, but if that's the will of the people, I would have to respond to people. That's my job,” said David Hedrick, Reynoldsburg Board of Education candidate.
The school levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $300 dollars more a year.
