A lot of people believe that when they pay that 2 percent to Columbus, we're getting some of it, but that's not the case. The 0.3-percent does stay here. Any additional income created by an income-tax increase will be a redistribution of what's already being paid. A resident wouldn't owe any more money to Columbus. |
I would typify this as under construction. Hopefully by May 2 we will have what we hope will be the final shape. |
It's interesting that while we have one of the lowest income-tax rates in the area, the effective rate for those living and working here is one of the highest, and we need to change that. |
We want to stress that the order of these projects isn't set in stone. The list is an estimate, and after annual inventory of streets, priorities will change. |
