Hamilton County Voters to Decide on Children’s Services Property Tax Levy
What happened
Hamilton County voters face a decision on Issue 10, which proposes increasing property taxes to fund children’s services. If passed, the levy would renew the current funding while also increasing it. Denise Driehaus, a Hamilton County Commissioner, and Laura Mitchell, CEO of Beech Acres Parenting Center, were guests on a discussion about the issue. The levy pays for services including child abuse hotlines, investigations into abuse and neglect, and foster care.

Approval of the levy would provide increased funding for essential services like adoption and child abuse investigations. The levy would generate specific amounts of funding, which would impact property owners and county budgets.
