The Ross County Board of Elections is scheduled to meet later this month to determine whether the petitions meet legal requirements to appear before voters, according to the county’s ballot issue list. The request comes after a similar income tax renewal failed by 61 votes in the May special election, according to final unofficial results at the time. The city of Chillicothe is separately asking voters to approve a new 0.2% municipal income tax dedicated exclusively to street paving, repairs and improvements. Ballot language and all issues remain subject to certification by the Ross County Board of Elections. The information contained in this story was obtained from the Ross County Board of Elections.
