The November ballot in Northeast Ohio is crowded with more than a hundred tax issues for schools and local governments. Most are just asking to keep the share they're getting. Some seek tax hikes.

They're stressed, too, worrying about asking for money in a tough economy amid a nationwide anti-tax movement.
