Celeste backs expanded homestead and day care tax breaks in Ohio
Governor Celeste endorsed broader homestead and day care exemptions within the state income tax to keep reform revenue neutral amid a federal tax bill. He suggested passing a measure before year end, while avoiding pre-election action. Senator Glenn announced tentative support for the federal reform but voiced fears about a clause harming Ohio investment credits. Diana Winterhalter led a push by the Ohio League of Women Voters and allies to collect signatures for a ballot measure to reform judicial selection, opposing patronage in appellate appointments.
