Income tax proposals for November ballot on Toledo City Council agenda

​By Tim Schneider, Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce
On the agenda for Toledo City Council’s regular meeting on Tuesday, July 28 at 4:00 p.m. are Resolutions 280-20 and 282-20 which would approve placing renewal of the city’s temporary 0.75 percent income tax, and a new temporary 0.25 percent income tax for roads and bridges, on the November 3 general election ballot. Both proposals would be for a period of four years beginning January 1, 2021, when the current 0.75 percent income tax is set to expire. According to the city, the 0.75 percent income tax would generate $56.8 million annually, and the 0.25 percent income tax would generate $18.9 million annually. While transfer for general fund purposes would continue to be allowed using capital improvement funding revenue generated from renewal of the 0.75 percent income tax, revenue generated from the new 0.25 percent income tax would be placed in a designated fund to be used solely for roads and bridges.

Cash Flow in the time of COVID. Avoiding high cost and dangerous lenders.

The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce has worked with hundreds of small businesses since the crisis began. In our role as consultants working in alignment with the SBA, many businesses have received EIDL advance grants and the more traditional EIDL loan, and many more have received PPP loans. The EIDL grant did provide a lifeline for many very small businesses, but with a maximum of $10,000.00 per business. For larger businesses with higher expenses those funds were spent quickly. Many businesses received EIDL loans, and most owners seemed to have been saving those funds for cash flow shortfalls in the future, which is a very sound strategy. But not all businesses received the EIDL loan. PPP funds had to be spent predominantly on employee wages, so they had little impact on the overhead or inventory.
