Ohio lawmakers lukewarm on statewide income tax proposal
Ohio legislators expressed little enthusiasm for a study committee plan to levy a 1 percent tax on individual income and a 5 percent tax on business income. Gov. Rhodes reiterated opposition to broad base income taxes, warning they could harm municipal finances. The plan aims to fund schools and local governments and would raise tens of millions for schools, municipalities, and counties. Committee chairman Albert Sealy said the measure shifts tax burden from property to income and will be introduced in the House after the new year.
