Boardman residents promoting police levy

BOARDMAN

Township residents are banding together to support the 3.85-mill police levy this November.

The Friends of Boardman Township Police Levy Campaign announced its formation at a news conference Thursday afternoon.

The group is led by residents Sue Filipovich, a broker for Legacy Select Real Estate; Adam Tokash, a Boardman High School alumnus who works at Turning Technologies; and Vince Bevacqua, vice president of media and public relations at Prodigal and a former reporter and news anchor for WYTV Channel 33. None has an affiliation with the Boardman Police Department or township government.

The levy would generate about $3.5 million annually for the police department, costing owners of a home valued at $100,000 an additional $116.80 a year, or 32 cents a day.
