Rally planned for Sandusky County mental health levy
Supporters say Sandusky is the only county in its three-county board without a levy. The cost would be about $2 a month for the average homeowner.
Supporters of the Sandusky County mental health levy on the November ballot will rally at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at Flag Park in Fremont, across from the courthouse. The campaign theme is “Our County’s Health Matters.”
Sandusky County is the only one of the three counties served by Mental Health and Recovery Services of Sandusky, Seneca and Wyandot Counties that has no levy for those services. Executive Director Nancy Cochran said the levy would support law enforcement and public safety, families and children, seniors and veterans, and that many needs are going unmet or close to being lost for lack of local money. She said it would cost the average homeowner about $2 a month.
Organizers will offer refreshments and free T-shirts and go door to door after the rally.
The board: Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties. Other 2011 issues: Groton fire levy. Crisis help: 988 Lifeline. More in Local News.
