Cigaret tax seen as needed fix for Ohio schools
In Athens, Joseph Weichter said state aid for Ohio schools remains grim amid a failing sales tax. He urged re-enacting the 1936 cigaret tax and borrowing against that revenue to cover 1935 obligations, with 16 southeastern counties backing the plan and two related bills advancing in the General Assembly. The tax would be allocated by need, unlike the per pupil sales tax method.
