The residents of Wayne County, Ohio, are facing a significant property tax increase. However, it has come to our attention that this increase does not apply uniformly across all residents. Specifically, most members of the political committee appear to be exempt from these increases.

This situation raises serious concerns about transparency and fairness in our local government's decision-making processes. It is essential for the integrity of our community that all citizens bear their fair share of the tax burden. Exemptions should be based on need or merit, not political connections.

According to data from the U.S Census Bureau (2019), Wayne County has a population of approximately 116,000 people. If only a select few are exempt from these increases, this places an undue financial burden on the majority who are not involved in politics.

We call upon our local government officials to review this policy immediately and ensure that any property tax increases are applied fairly across all residents regardless of their political affiliations or positions. We demand transparency in how these decisions were made and insist on accountability for any discrepancies found.

Please sign this petition if you believe in equal taxation for all Wayne County residents without favoritism towards those with political connections.
