Tax System A Relic Says OSU Economist
Columbus AP The Citizens Task Force on Tax Reform resumes hearings at the State House with testimony from Dr. Donald J. Curran of Cleveland State University. OSU’s Fred Stocker and Miami University’s George Thatcher say Ohio’s tax system is a relic of 1930s low mood years, heavy on property taxes and unable to fund growing needs including education. They urge public education on revenue needs and a tax overhaul to align with growth and income across Ohio. Jacob Davis of Cincinnati chairs the panel, aiming to finish hearings within two weeks and deliver a final report to Gov.-elect Gilligan by February 15.
