Questions remain regarding the fate of the city of Powell’s income-tax ballot issue after a March 11 special meeting of the Delaware County Board of Elections.
The meeting addressed a challenge filed with the board regarding the issue.
The challenge, signed by Jan S. Simonis of Industrial Affairs, states, “I do not believe that due process was followed to correctly place this issue on the ballot. Therefore, I respectfully challenge the placement onto the ballot and request that this issue be revisited in a formal hearing.”
During the meeting, Yaz Ashwari, legal counsel for Powell, questioned the appropriateness of such a hearing that could affect the placement of the issue on the ballot.
