Ohio Sales Tax Bill Faces Crucial Test
In Columbus the Senate Taxation Committee advanced the controversial sales tax bill amid last minute opposition efforts. The measure would allocate 60 percent of $50 million to schools and 40 percent to local governments, with four committee amendments potentially sending it back to the House for concurrence. Senator Metzenbaum denounced the bill as an improper state tax program, citing audit complexity and rising sales with falling revenue, while targeted amendments sought to tighten fund transfers within the tax commission.
