Do your research on levies
Let’s dig in and talk about taxes, politics and elected officials. Holy cow, are these great controversial items that make friends enemies or what?!? This fall there are going to be a whole bunch of items that need to be voted on. Paulding County Jail Levy, PEVS School levy, Paulding Village street lights, just to name a few. You can bet there will be more levies from around the state, county, townships and villages.

So then we expect elected officials to give us more, and do more for us, with less. And when they don’t then by golly it’s time to boot them out of office and elect new officials right?? Well now is the time to be discussing these things, not the first week of November.
