CIRCLEVILLE – Levy votes looked positive for passing last night until all votes were counted and both levies failed by a narrow margin.
The property tax levy created to providing emergency needs for the district would have provided about 800,000 dollars annually failed by only 84 votes. 1,180 votes for and 1,264 against.
The 1% earned income tax levy for operating expenses failed also, again with a very narrow margin of 59 votes. 1,192 votes for and 1,251 against.
What made the levy fail was mostly in part to the Hocking County voters who voted over 70% against both levies while the Pickaway side voted around 55% for the levy.
