Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Just the facts??

Bexley = 136.78 mils
Hilliard = 114.84 mils
Gahanna = 101.38 mils
Grandview = 88.89 mils
Grove City = 88.07 mils

TO NAME A FEW


These are voted millage and the effective rates that the taxpayers actually pay WILL be lower. Enough wanted to ignore the facts here and go for the effect.

when the land is all developed

Take a look at your list, the only district that has land available for development, that is not controlled by Columbus water and sewer.... is Hillard. I think that is a good comparasion, not land locked, but has more of its land developed than the Violet Township area, which has a lot of land left to develop. Hillard also has a higher percentage of commercial developement.

So, what is the point...we ain't seen nothin yet...I predict we will far eclipse the millage level in Hillard.

Another thing to consider...in Bexley, most of their millage is for operating, since they do not have to build more schools just maintain and upgrade them. The program they offer in their schools is one of the best in Ohio, along with Upper Arlington, another landlocked high millage community.

If anybody moved here thinking they would get a UA or Bexley education...I think it is clear that the community will never be able to afford this in the current mode. Much of our voted/effective/taxes pay for bond debt, which is a huge burden not likely to go away.
