Bricker Says Federal Budget Hit Will Bury Ohio in Taxes
Senator Bricker warns Ohioans that the pending federal budget would take about 2.4 billion dollars from the state, amounting to 25 percent of all real and personal property value. He argues billions will be spent elsewhere unless direction changes, stressing that taxes on every Ohioan would total 300 dollars and a family of three 1,200 dollars. He notes the Hoover commission cites misplacements of tens of millions and urges local governments to seek funds from productive wealth rather than giveaway federal spending.

Should Hawaii and Alaska become states
Peter Edson weighs federal costs of statehood for Hawaii and Alaska. Hawaii would shift existing $50,000 yearly territorial costs to the state while keeping all federal taxes, with potential gains from full grant programs. Alaska faces heavy federally funded services, high subsidies, and gaps in revenue, suggesting statehood could yield mixed funding impacts but promises greater federal support.
