Levy campaign targets east Dayton
I’ve written a lot here about Dayton’s racial divide when it comes to elections. In many elections, you can draw a line dividing east from west along the Great Miami River — the west votes one way and the east another. This effect can be seen in races between a black candidate vs. a white candidate but also, strangely, on school levies. It was evident in the 2007 school levy.
But that levy was so huge it made it pretty easy for lots of voters to say no. Will it be different this time, with a more reasonable levy? That’s what the levy campaign hopes and that’s why it is making a push for votes in east Dayton.
Will it work? Can the DPS levy pull better numbers in on the east side of town this time? With about a week to go, what do you think?
