Ohio House Tax Plan Faces Setback in Revenue Clash
Columbus, March 21. A revenue raising program drafted by the house taxation committee was ripped apart as a last minute bid to revive the 3 percent total tax measure. Dr Edwin Smart revealed revenue estimates were too high, throwing the committee into an impasse ahead of today’s legislature reconvening. Jerome Curtis and others attacked the sales tax plan, while Rep Ward and others supported an income tax basis and a 1 percent utilities tax increase to raise funds for debt burdened municipalities and schools.
