Fair taxation in Ohio and unequal impact of new taxes
A columnist argues that upcoming tax hikes will hit low income Ohioans hardest. Citing Stephen Lile’s 1978 study, the piece notes state and local taxes burden the poorest more, while high earners pay a smaller share. It warns sales and utility taxes will rise, with rates likely passed to consumers, worsening inner city housing costs. It predicts power will skew toward the wealthy in legislative influence.
