Voters rejected a temporary income tax increase, forcing Toledo city leaders to consider significant budget cuts. The worst-case scenario includes approximately 73 layoffs, with a substantial portion affecting police and fire departments. Other potential reductions involve ending curbside recycling and closing city pools. City Council will review the proposed 2027 budget before making final decisions. These measures are necessary to balance the city's finances.
