Butler County DD fiscal emergency and May levy

Fairfield

Summary

The county developmental disabilities board has run out of money — waiver costs have jumped 380% since its last levy in 2004. It's asking voters for a new 2-mill levy in May, about $70 a year per $100,000 home value, to keep existing services running.
