Ohio Senate Tax Bill Faces Vote Fight and Tax Hike Debate
Governor DiSalle's sales tax increase bill faces Senate Taxation Committee resistance with six votes needed to move. The omnibus proposal would raise up to 200 million in two years by repealing tax stamps, boosting the penny tax to 41 cents, ending alcohol and cigarette exemptions, and removing service exemptions. Two Democrats balk at stamp repeal and another objects to removing agriculture materials exemptions. The House already sent the beer tax bill to the Senate, as DiSalle aims to push major tax increases.
