Union Chief Raps Tax Bill in Ohio Senate Hearing

Ohio AFL-CIO president Frank King blasted the $1.4 billion tax proposal now under Senate review calling the graduated personal income tax unfair and inequitable. He argued the plan would yield $618 million from individuals and $180 million from corporate taxes with possible $200 million more by removing a sales tax exemption on production inputs. He noted the labor-backed measure aims to raise about $550 million annually mainly through business taxes but faces unlikely legislative action.
