Senate Approves Ohio Sales Tax Increase Bill
The Ohio Senate approved a tax budget bill by 18 to 15 and sent it to a conference committee. The measure would cost the average family of four about $67.50 yearly, with a 1.5 cent sales tax rise and 3.5 to 6.5 percent corporate tax. The plan funds education and elderly home stead exemptions, but faces GOP opposition and labor pressure for a personal income tax instead.
