Tax Talk In Seneca

An important levy will likely be on the ballot for voters in Seneca County, to support the area mental health board. The Mental Health and Recovery Services Board needs to put a new levy on the November ballot to continue the work they have been doing for the last nine years. Voters approved the mental health board levy in 2008 and voted for its renewal in 2012. But a legal procedural issue with the state department of taxation will not allow the levy to go for renewal again in 2018. So the board has proposed a new level for this year that if approved would cancel and replace the existing levy. In Seneca the new level will be down from .8 mills to .7.
