The Ohio legislature moves to modify the sales tax with two key amendments: exempt all food from the tax after 1936 and increase local revenue allocation from 30 to 40 percent. A third change would exclude the trade-in value of used cars from the tax on new autos. Despite these, repeal efforts and further amendments are anticipated as the heated debate continues in Columbus, while West Virginia lawmakers prepare for similar battles.
