Ten Point Tax Revision Plan Proposed by Ohio Authority
Ford F Becker proposes a ten point tax revision to rebalance revenue among Ohio's 54 000 subdivisions and fund local government. At a meeting of county officials in Elyria he urged freeing auto tax for local use and letting budget commissions adjust rates within current limits. He urged shifting funds from school and fuel taxes to deficits and road use, raising property tax value, improving delinquent taxes and real estate appraisals, and criticized welfare driven deficits and dollar matching.
