EATON — Preble County Mental Health and Recovery Board will not be going to the ballot in May.

During the Preble County Commissioners’ meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 6, the board noted receipt of a letter from MHRB explaining the change.

MHRB Director Amy Raynes previously attended a commissioners meeting to present the renewal levy to the board. The MHRB did not realize there was not a primary in May and they would have to pay to go on the ballot in May.

“At this point, their request is on hold and they are going to rethink whether they need to do a replacement, rather than renewal,” Commission Clerk Kim Keller said.
