Miamisburg - Miamisburg voters went to the polls Tuesday to decide on two school levies, and in the end voters passed one and failed the other. That means Miamisburg City Schools is staring at a $4.5 million budget deficit for next year. Residents overwhelmingly passed a replacement levy that's been on the books for six years, but an additional emergency operating levy failed at the polls, with 47% for and 53% against.
After the results were final, Superintendent Dr. Dallas Clark, thanked voters for coming out to support the levies, but also cautioned that the looming cuts will change the way the district has to do business.
''We're looking at a minimum of $4.5 million in cuts, that will mean the loss of 100 plus jobs and a number of different programs across the board, Dr. Jackson told us, ''the education that people are accustomed to here in Miamisburg is going to look a lot different if we have to go through with those cuts.''
Dr. Jackson says he will get with the school board to decide if putting a levy on the May ballot is something they want to pursue. If it is, they will have to act quickly.

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- President Barack Obama is delivering a new appeal to Congress on health care -- "we need courage."
Addressing a crowd in Ohio on Monday, Obama was briefly interrupted by a woman who shouted, "We need courage." He quickly adopted the line and repeated it.
Obama had used his speech to try to reassure seniors that his health care plan will make Medicare stronger.
Obama and congressional Democratic leaders are scrambling to secure the support for his top domestic initiative, with votes possible later this week. They are trying to persuade nervous Democrats to back the legislation. Obama's Ohio appearance was his third campaign-style event in a week.
