Hamilton County’s Children at Risk | Cincinnati News

Hamilton County voters face a make-or-break decision this November: approve a four-year levy to save children’s services—or risk total funding collapse. With the current levy expiring and no backup plan, commissioners slashed the requested millage in half to make it more affordable for homeowners. Though shorter than usual (four years instead of five), this levy is essential—without it, vital child support programs vanish. A proposed fix using stadium sales tax funds was blocked by legal advice. Meanwhile, Ohio’s state government isn’t stepping up its share, forcing local communities like Hamilton to shoulder the burden—even as they prioritize placing kids with family whenever possible.
