Plain Dealer compares county spending
If you’re interested in how Montgomery compares to other metro counties in the state when it comes to spending, you might enjoy reading the Plain Dealer’s weekend stories on this issue. The chart that accompanies this story compares Montgomery County with Lucas, Hamilton, Franklin and Cuyahoga counties (home to Toledo, Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland, respectively) for spending.
There weren’t any big bombshells for Montgomery County in the data. Some of the comparisons, particularly the calculated averages and rates, didn’t seem to match well given the wide range in the size of the counties. But it’s still interesting to see the counties lined up this way.
Take a look and let us know what catches your eye.
