Hamilton County voters will decide this election whether to increase their property taxes to fund children’s services.
The Children’s Services levy is Issue 10 on the ballot. If passed, it would renew the current levy along with an increase.
The levy pays for the county’s child abuse hotline, investigations into abuse and neglect, foster care, adoption and other child welfare services.
