Dear Editor,
In regards to the City of Marysville and the MEVSD disagreement on TIFs and how they are used, yes the school district agreed to the TIF, but at that time they probably didn’t expect the amount of development and what some of the TIF (money) is being used for.
Seems like Marysville is coming in the back door for tax money that wasn’t voted for them. The school district should get out of the TIF if they can.
One reason the MEVSD levy has failed has been blamed a lot on the rural precincts. Well, when Marysville uses the school-voted on tax money for city infrastructure, the rural areas get no benefit.
If the city needs money for infrastructure for development projects, then let the developer pay, or put a levy on a Marysville ballot and see how that works out.
As for the county engineer not having money to pay for road maintenance, I suggest not spending so much on one roundabout. There is more to Union County than Marysville, Plain City and Jerome Township.
