State association explains benefits of making BG income tax a continuing levy

On Nov. 2, voters in the Bowling Green City School District will be asked to support a continuing income tax that will not increase taxes.

First approved in 1992, the 0.50% income tax levy provides approximately $3.9 million annually in funding day-to-day operations.

Converting the tax to a continuing levy would not only eliminate the frequency the levy appears on the ballot and the associated costs but also free up funding for additional educational purposes.

I encourage you to educate yourself about the income tax, and above all, vote on Nov. 2.
