11/3/2017: The Issue 3 proposed tax levy on Tuesday’s ballot does not call for an increase — the levy, if passed, will remain at the same level as the current levy that went into effect years ago…
11/1/2017: Summit County voters should not hesitate to vote “Yes” on Issue 3, renewing the 4.5-mill operating levy for the Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board…
A letter to the editor (LTE) is a great way to tell your story about why the passage of Issue 3 is critical to the community. The LTE section is one of the most widely read parts of a newspaper and can help raise awareness of the importance of Issue 3 passing in order to continue vital services to our community. The most important aspects of an LTE are: 1) It be short, usually under 150 words; 2) it tells a personal story, in this case how Summit DD has helped you; and 3) It ends with an action, or asking people to vote yes on Issue 3.
You can submit your LTE using the submission guidelines outlined below for each media outlet. We’ve assembled some sample LTE’s to get you started!
It’s that easy! And, it’s that essential to helping us pass this critical levy. Thank you for your support!
