Possible Disbanding
In the 2021 election, an issue was proposed that the village should disband. Residents would no longer pay a 1% tax, and the police force of 12 officers would be disbanded, leaving the community to rely instead on the Clermont County sheriff's department. This measure failed with nearly 70% of voters voting against the measure.
