Vote “Yes” on Issue 29

February 29, 2008

Voters in Franklin County will be given the opportunity to decide the fate of a very a valuable agency in Central Ohio, the Franklin County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities. This agency provides desperately needed services to citizens in our community that rely on the MRDD in their day to day lives. According to the Columbus Dispatch, the number of “people needing services, from 11,055 in 2001 to 14,282 in 2007, staff levels have dropped, from 1,675 in 2001 to 1,440 in the same period. Transportation routes taking people to jobs, schools and workshops were consolidated to cut costs.”

This levy replaces temporary levies set to expire as well as small increases for permanent levies. It is incumbent upon us to continue to support such a fine organization that provides important services to a growing number of people in our community. Vote “yes” on Issue 29.
