Special Event |
Issue 1 in the upcoming August 4 special election is a proposal by the City of Columbus to partially address the current and projected fiscal imbalance of the City’s General Fund by increasing the tax rate on personal earned income by 0.5% to 2.5%. Whether or not Columbus voters support Issue 1, the outcome of this special election will have a significant impact on Columbus residents and workers and their neighborhoods for years to come. More than 100 were in attendance at Broad Street Presbyterian Church on Monday, July 20, 2009 as Columbus City Auditor Hugh Dorrian, representing Citizens for Strong Neighborhoods and Good Jobs, and Bill Todd, representing Basics First, participated in a moderated discussion of Issue 1 in the August 4 Columbus special election. The moderator was Carol Luper, reporter for ABC6/Fox 28 News. The non-partisan event was sponsored and organized by the Franklin County Consortium for Good Government, the Columbus Community Coalition and the Central Ohio Pro chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
