Norwood may have to vote again on city levy

NORWOOD They went to the polls in May and renewed an 8-mill levy that generates money for city services, but now, because of a squabble between the city and Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes, voters here could be asked to OK the same tax again in November.
The two parties are fighting over state law and the manner in which council members voted to place the tax proposal on the spring ballot.
Council met Tuesday night and unanimously agreed to put the tax question before voters again while continuing their legal battle against Mr. Rhodes.
If the courts settle the dispute before Nov. 5, the question will be yanked from the ballot and voters will not have to reconsider the matter. Otherwise, they will vote again on the renewal levy that is supposed to generate $1.9 million toward next year's $18.9 million spending plan.
