Letter to the editor: Streetsboro schools are asking too much

Despite two consecutive rejections of property tax levies and recent home value reappraisals that have generated nearly $1 million from unvoted tax bill increases, the Streetsboro City School Board is again asking tax payers for to shoulder an even heavier tax burden. Yet another property tax levy will appear on the Streetsboro ballot on May 5th.  And they have gotten bolder: this time the ask is 7 mills (up from the 5 mills they tried to take in November of last year.)
