Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Canton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Plain Local Schools bond issue
Plain Local Schools wants a 3.5-mill, 37-year bond issue to replace seven aging elementary buildings with three new ones, saving a projected $45 million over ten years and unlocking an $84 million state match. The average homeowner would pay about $17 a month ($203.35/year), and the high school bond drops off in 2030-31.
Tax Services
Skip the pricey tax software this year because the Canton Treasurer's Office is offering free help to file your city taxes. It's a quick local perk that can save you both time and stress during tax season.
Budget Cuts
Canton City Schools just dropped a major budget-cutting plan that's going to shake things up in local classrooms and services. If you've got kids in the district or care about where your education tax dollars are going, you'll want to pay attention to this.
