School Heads Seek To Block Ohio Excise Tax Cut
The Ohio Education Association urged members to oppose a proposed constitutional amendment to outlaw all excise sales taxes in Ohio except gasoline. It argues the move would deprive schools of over 32 million dollars in revenue and strain the School Foundation, costing about 49.1 million annually with a 6 million dollar deficit. The measure, backed by Akron residents, requires 300000 signatures by August 9 to appear on November ballots, effective January 1939 if approved. The association warns of wide impact beyond schools, with local governments and relief programs also depending on the sales tax revenue.
