Ohio Legislature Haggles Over Taxes and Budget Shifts
The House and Senate clash on business tax cuts and income tax rates as they shape the state budget. Proposals back a smaller first tax-free bracket and trim the 40 percent cut for wealthier filers, while keeping or adjusting the $1.2 million annual break for partnerships. They seek an 8 percent or 6.6 percent across the board cut, with notable changes to education, Medicaid controls, and county funding for foster care and early childhood programs.
