Ohio Tax System From 1930s Faces Broad Revision Push
Ohio lawmakers consider a comprehensive overhaul of the state tax structure as pressure from AFL CIO and business groups grows. Gov. Gilligan seeks $300 million in new revenue, possibly via an income tax, to sustain and expand state services and fund education amid widespread calls for tax on profits rather than property. Local governments already levy income taxes on wages and profits, while investment incomes remain largely untaxed. Workshops and meetings statewide explain reform ideas to officials and citizens.
