County commissioners from Adams, Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Fayette, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pickaway, Pike, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton counties will meet on Feb. 25, 2011 at the Pump House Center for the Arts on North Mulberry Street in Chillicothe with area members of the Ohio General Assembly to discuss the state/county partnership and its ability to deliver vital services to the citizens of Ohio during a period of increasing responsibilities and limited resources.
The Highland County Board of Commissioners recognizes that it will be a tight state budget and there has been limited growth in local revenue, so it is essential that state and county governments work together closely and cooperatively for the good of their mutual constituents, the people of Ohio.
For many important governmental services, counties rely upon the local government funds to implement state policy at the local level. Counties are the primary agents of the state in administering justice and prosecuting criminals; providing health and human services to needy citizens; managing the property tax system; improving infrastructure to foster economic development; and providing a myriad of other important governmental services to improve the quality of life for all Ohioans.
During these times of fiscal stress, it is vital that the partnership between the state and county government be reaffirmed and strengthened. Ohio's county governments will be seeking a commitment from the Administration and the General Assembly to county government fiscal security as one of the centerpieces of Ohio's SFY 2010/2011 biennial budget.[[In-content Ad]]
