Zettler: Jolivette has ‘lack of understanding’ of levy surplus
Although Jack Zettler is running for Butler County auditor, he is spending as much time trading barbs with Commissioner Gregory Jolivette as with his opponent and incumbent Roger Reynolds.
In his latest offering to the discussion over what to do with a projected $21 million surplus from the senior services levy voters approved in 2005, Zettler says:
“If Mr. Jolivette is trying (to) hold back the funds for any purpose other than the levy purpose then when he talks about public officials spending like drunken sailors, he’d better look in the mirror,” Zettler wrote.
This story first broke a few weeks back when commissioners were informed by the administrator of the county’s senior service agencies that a $21 million surplus is expected to exist in the levy fund by 2010.
Jolivette suggested some of the money be kept in the levy fund to be used for capital projects or programming. The rest should be given back to county residents in the form of a property tax rollback. Read that story here.
Original ballot language from the senior services levy stated the money could only be used for in-home services.
Responded Jolivette earlier this week:
“Does that mean that he is against helping senior citizens and senior citizen programs with the money citizens have earmarked to help seniors?” Jolivette said.
