STOP THE LIES
LOWER YOUR TAXES
DISSOLVE NEW ROME

It seems someone is spreading rumors in New Rome, a scare tactic if you will, that property taxes would go up if the vote to dissolve New Rome succeeds next month.  This is a lie.


In fact, taxes would decrease if New Rome ceases to exists.  Services would likely increase.  How's that for a bargain from government?


New Rome's village tax rate is 1.20.  This is actually quite a bargain in Franklin County.  Only Reynoldsburg, Harrisburg, Urbancrest and Marble Cliff have lower city rates.  Valleyview's is a staggering 24.53, more than any other municipality.  The total property tax rate in New Rome is 89.48 vs 88.28 in Prairie Township due to the extra village tax.
