Ohio GOP split over where to collect income tax
Ohio House Republicans remain divided on tax bill finance. A flat county level income tax of 1.75 percent dominates most caucus talk, but Rep. E W Lampson pushes a state level collection and a 1 to 3 percent graduated rate. Kurfess notes insufficient support for either plan. Democrats and administration resist the GOP tax approach while discussing a state collected system for multi county unincorporated businesses.
