Of the 10 school levies on the ballot, half are in Greene County, including two separate Xenia Community City School District levies — a simple renewal, plus a long-term bond issue for replacing the middle school.
Huber Heights Mayor Jeff Gore is back on the ballot and challenged by Ed Lyons and Glenn Otto, both city council members.
Dayton voters will also narrow the list of seven candidates running for two city commission seats. In Huber Heights, three candidates vie for a District 3 council seat.
Dayton voters will also have six charter amendments on the ballot that include changing how the pay of mayor and city commissioners is determined, giving employees more latitude to engage in political activity and changing the way police and fire recruits are selected.
These are the candidates and issues on the May 4 ballot (incumbents noted).
