❓Did you know❓

❤️ 🧡 Issue 1 is a continuous levy for Stark County Board of Developmental Disabilities that will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $4.66 a month!

When a person with a developmental disability begins receiving support through Medicaid home and community-based services waivers, Stark DD is responsible for funding the non-federal share of those services for the duration of need. Because these supports are often lifelong, a continuous levy ensures stable, ongoing funding to meet those obligations.

💙 💚 If approved, it is estimated to generate approximately $21.4 million annually.

Vote FOR Issue 1 on or before Nov. 4th.
