Episode 33 - Rex Parsons- Incumbent Candidate for Batavia Township Trustee - E33
Episode 33 - HB 331, Village Dissolution, and a Conversation with Rex Parsons
We open with a look at Ohio HB 331 (now enacted) and what it changes about village dissolution, from petition rules (now limited to even-numbered years) to the new “lack of services/candidates” trigger after each census. We also talk about what actually happens if a village dissolves (debt, taxes, assets, and who takes over services). Then, we talk with Rex Parsons, incumbent candidate for Batavia Township Trustee.
We get into:
- Township–village relations and how to lower the temperature
- CRAs, annexation, and school/fire funding (including CJFED)
- Growth, density, and what “preserving character” could mean in practice
- Parks, green space, and quality-of-life investments
- Transparency, meetings, and engaging residents
- Rex’s track record (former village council member, former township clerk & administrator) and why he’s running again
