Preble Shawnee passes general operations levy By Anthony Baker - abaker@aimmediamidwest.com The five-year, .75-percent income tax levy passed on May 4 represents a significant victory for Preble Shawnee, as the measure has been defeated at the polls repeatedly, most recently in April and Nov. 2020. Anthony Baker | The Register-Herald PREBLE COUNTY — Preble Shawnee Local School District Superintendent Dr. Matt Bishop spoke to The Register-Herald about the recent passage of the district’s general operations levy on Tuesday, May 4. “The sixth time’s the charm,” Bishop said of the five-year, .75-percent income tax levy, which will cost workers in the district less than a dollar for every $100 of income. The levy’s passage represents a significant victory for Shawnee, as the measure has been defeated at the polls repeatedly since 2015, most recently in April and Nov. 2020.
