Democrats Back CPS Property Tax Levy | Cincinnati News

Hamilton County Democrats are rallying behind Cincinnati Public Schools’ new property tax levy, voting 90-0 to support the measure that could bring in $66 million annually for the district. The endorsement follows their earlier opposition to a controversial income tax proposal, which the school board abandoned amid public backlash. Democrats blame state underfunding and accuse lawmakers of intentionally weakening public education. The seven-mill CPS levy, costing homeowners around $245 per $100K home value, is only on the ballot for residents within the district. Separately, Hamilton County voters will decide on a children’s services levy — a five-point-six-one-mill tax lasting four years — that affects all residents regardless of school district.
