According to 2000 census calculations Knox County is the sixth fastest-growing county in the state of Ohio. With 14.8 percent growth sustained since 1990, the county has grown at more than three times the state average of 4.7 percent. For this reason, residents like Staats feel that the money could be better used to provide funding for Knox County's major infrastructure needs, both in the present and in the future. We need that money to pay for schools and roads. However, because the half-mill levy is a tax on property, Kenyon students will bear no burden of paying for the Parks District directly, even though their vote will influence the outcome of the election.
Students are able to vote in the elections.
The voting board will hold elections all day on Tuesday inside the Gambier Community Center, which is located behind the Pizza Hut apartments on Meadow Lane.
