[edit] Columbus business leaders want spending details for school bond
The Columbus Partnership, is a consortium of influential executives in Columbus, Ohio. The business group, has called on Superintendent Gene Harris to detail how she would cut costs and sustain the levy's life if the ballot measure passes.
The school board finalized the ballot request for an operating levy and bond issue to build schools, buy buses and lengthen the school day for Columbus City Schools. The tax issues would cost an average $275 more a year for a $100,000 home.
The Columbus Partnership has issued a set of question to the Superintendent who has yet to respond. "We want to work with the public schools, but at the same time, we want to see accountability," said Bob Milbourne, president of the Columbus Partnership.[1]
