Local business owner endorses Loveland School tax levy

“I wholeheartedly endorse the upcoming Loveland School District levy…” – Tony Ricci, owner Tony’s Steakhouse

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LOVELAND, OH (April 19, 2023) – I strongly believe that Loveland is the best community in Ohio.

We are fortunate to live in a place where we all feel safe, business is booming, and our kids have a chance to go to great schools. And our schools lie at the heart of our community. I have been a longtime supporter of the boosters and I was blessed to have my children graduate from Loveland High School.

As a business owner and resident of Loveland, I wholeheartedly endorse the upcoming Loveland School District levy, and I urge my fellow community members to support it as well. Supporting our schools is essential to the strength of our community, the growth of our businesses, and the value of our properties.

I understand there has been opposition to levies like this in the past, and I respect the concerns of those who are hesitant to support it. However, the reality is our schools need this funding to continue providing the high-quality education our children deserve.

By supporting our schools, we are also investing in the future of our community. When businesses are looking to set up shop in a new location, they look for strong schools that will attract employees with families. If we want Loveland to continue to thrive, it is essential we have a strong school system. 

Moreover, supporting our schools is essential to maintaining the value of our properties. Homebuyers are always looking for great schools for their children, which means strong schools can help to attract buyers and strengthen the value of our properties.

I understand why some may be hesitant to support this levy, but I strongly believe now is the time to come together for the benefit of our community. We owe it to our children to give them the best education possible, and we owe it to ourselves to invest in the future of our community.

Please vote yes on May 2nd to support our children, our community, and our future.

Tony Ricci, Tony’s Steakhouse
