Brenda, Doug and I will be meeting in the next week to discuss moving forward to receive the full erate amount.

GOVENOR'S PROPOSAL
HB64
SENATE VERSION
4. On the reverse side is a time line for levy. For income tax, there are only 2 times per year allowed to be placed on the ballot. With next year being a presidential year, the first one is March 8—recent legislation signed by Governor Kasich moved the primary to the second Tuesday in March. Regardless of the type of levy we decide on, I recommend we begin the resolution process in October to allow time to have all documents files with the Board of Elections by December 16.
