Westerville residents stepped up their efforts for and against the city's school levy that voters were to decide on in two weeks, 10TV's Justin Moss reported.
Jennifer Aultman was for the levy. She said it's hard to imagine what the district would be like if the levy failed.
"These programs that we would be losing, they're the kind of programs that really make children's lives," Aultman said.
The district hoped to raise an extra $16-million a year by passing Issue 10. They said that should allow them to keep sports and electives, Moss reported.
Opponents held rallies against the previous levy, which failed at the polls in November. They got fired up again.
"They do not need additional income if they would manage their spending habits," said Mary Medors, who joined the group Taxpayers For Westerville Schools, a group that argued the district could work harder to cut costs.
Some took their opinions a step further, Moss reported. Police said people stole or destroyed about 100 anti-levy signs.
