“In 1975, homeowners and farmers paid 47.5% of school property taxes. Today, they pay nearly 70%.”
Dr. Howard Fleeter explains the shift — and what it means for Ohio schools and taxpayers.

Out of every disgusting, dishonest piece of filth the mainstream media has produced about Hurricane Helene...
This is the worst.
60 Minutes has NEVER done a story on the families FEMA denied.
They NEVER mentioned the Amish, who are STILL in the mountains rebuilding homes 550 days later.
They NEVER mentioned Jake Jarvis, who has worked 550 days STRAIGHT FOR FREE for Hurricane Helene victims.
Instead, they dug up some fringe conspiracy angle to smear the people who actually showed up as White Nationalists.
I'm so angry.
Let me tell you what 60 Minutes will NEVER report on
I was there. I lived it. I am still here.
I shared every story I could find.
Me, my wife, hundreds of volunteers delivered RVs to mothers holding babies who were sleeping in TOOL SHEDS AND TENTS in the freezing cold, in the mountains.
Because their homes had been ripped off the side of a mountain and washed down the French Broad.
So tell me 60 Minutes... WHERE WAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?
Tell me, WHY did all these volunteers NEED to show up?
Any thoughts on that?!!!!!
Any investigation AT ALL into the federal or state government's response to Hurricane Helene?
Please tell me... if the federal government was doing such a GREAT JOB, why did we need to put victims in RVs...
...A MONTH AFTER THE HURRICANE?!!!!!!!
Literally every single victim you talk to in Western North Carolina has a horror story about dealing with FEMA...
...and guess who they will all say actually cam through for them?
Neighbors.
Church groups.
The Amish.
The Cajun Navy.
Shawn Hendricks.
Samaritan's Purse.
MercuryOne.
The Mission Mules hauling insulin up washed-out roads, ONLY ACCESSIBLE by mules.
Greg Biffle burning his own fuel in helicopters.
Veterans like Adam Smith who organized helicopter rescues with other veterans BY HIMSELF and then was demonized by the media for it.
Volunteers like Jake Jarvis working TO THIS DAY, 550 days later without ANY PAY AT ALL.
THOSE ARE THE STORIES FROM HURRICANE HELENE WORTH TELLING.
But 60 Minutes won't tell ANY OF THEM.
Because the truth makes the federal government the villain and the "deplorables" are actually the heroes in this story and they can NEVER admit that.
So instead they smeared the rescuers as white nationalists.
This is unforgivable.
I was there. I saw it with my own eyes.
And I will BE DAMNED if I let CBS rewrite the history of what happened to my mountains.
The world is vast, yet our oceans - covering 71% of the planet - remain largely unexplored.
As this view of the Pacific Ocean defines, we are only a minor presence on a blue sphere. Yet we are led to believe that human activity now controls a planetary system of such magnitude.
Most of the Earth remains untouched and urban settlements cover only about 3% of the land area. While we debate Net Zero deadlines, we ignore the fact that the vast majority of the planet is unsuitable for agriculture or even human habitation - glaciers, rocky terrains, and deep wilderness. We have mapped more of the surface of Mars than our own ocean floors.
Earth’s land area is a mere 149 million square kilometers, and it is far from a uniform human workshop. Deserts cover 33%, ice and frozen terrain 10%, remote forests 31% and mountains another 25%. These unseen frontiers do the heavy lifting, absorbing half of all human CO₂ emissions every year through photosynthesis and the soil.
Surely it’s time to stop pretending humanity dominates a world where we have barely scratched the surface.
@Ohiohshoops I think he might been have yelling at me, he would act like he was mad but most time he was asking if I was stopping at the Elks after the game
Lowes and NASCAR have teamed up to give WNC Helene victims a special Christmas delivery.
At least 100 tiny homes will arrive before Christmas Eve for families left homeless by Hurricane Helene.
