Miamisburg is a nail-biter

Piqua a big winner
Piqua schools fought hard to convince their voters they truly needed a 0.75 percent income tax, even bringing in a pro football player and Olympic hockey gold medalists who are graduates to campaign for the levy. It has worked. The numbers are final in Miami County. Piqua and Milton-Union are winners.
Now we’re just waiting for Montgomery County to catch up. They do have some new numbers and Jefferson Twp. is a final. The levy passes. Sorry for creating confusion with Jefferson tonight. I had some problems mixing up the school and township levies.
Montgomery County (see below)
Jefferson Twp.: 56 percent yes; 44 percent no (100 percent reporting)
Northmont: 62 percent yes; 38 percent no (51 percent reporting)
Valley View: 31 percent yes; 69 percent no (28 percent reporting)
Miamisburg: 48 percent yes; 52 percent no (42 percent reporting)
Miami County (100 percent reporting)
Piqua: 56 percent yes, 44 percent no
Milton Union: 55 percent yes; 45 percent no
Greene County (final results)
Beavercreek: 48 percent yes; 52 percent no
Greenview: 47 percent yes; 53 percent no
Sugarcreek: 58 percent yes; 41 percent no
Yellow Springs: 65 percent yes; 35 percent no

Piqua, Milton heading toward wins
Miami County is the only one so far with siginficant results reported. It looks like Piqua is headed to a big win for its income tax. Milton-Union looks like it’s going to win in its bid for a renewal levy.
For Montgomery and Greene, we only have absenteee ballot data, so don’t put too much stock in those results. Here they are:
Montgomery County (absentee only)
Jefferson Twp.: 45 percent yes; 54 percent no
Northmont: 64 percent yes; 34 percent no
Valley View: 23 percent yes; 77 percent no
Miamisburg: 41 percent yes; 58 percent no
Miami County (85 percent reporting)
Piqua: 57 percent yes, 44 percent no
Milton Union: 55 percent yes; 44 percent no
Greene County (absentee only)
Beavercreek: 43 percent yes; 57 percent no
Greenview: 39 percent yes; 60 percent no
Sugarcreek: 52 percent yes; 48 percent no
Yellow Springs: 60 percent yes; 40 percent no

Early results for Greene County only
We’ve got some major problems out there. Apparently, the secretary of state has told local boards of elections not to report results until 9 p.m. A judge has ordered polling places to remain open until 9 p.m. in Cleveland because of a ballot shortage.
So far, only Greene County has reported any results locally and those are only for a small number of absentee and early voting ballots. But if you want to check out the school results for those ballots, follow the “continued” link:
Jefferson Twp.: NA
Northmont: NA
Valley View: NA
Miamisburg: NA
Piqua: NA
Milton Union: NA
Beavercreek: 43 percent yes; 57 percent no
Greenview: 39 percent yes; 60 percent no
Sugarcreek: 52 percent yes; 48 percent no
Yellow Springs: 50 percent yes; 40 percent no
