Ohio Tax Hike on Gasoline Sparks Campaign Battle
In 1959 Gov DiSalle and Democratic lawmakers raised Ohio gasoline tax from five to seven cents a gallon, costing motorists about 65 million annually. Republicans argued for a one-cent cut and local- revenue distribution, but the amendment failed. The author, Charles W. Jackson, criticizes the tax as a DiSalle policy, arguing it wastes funds and burdens counties like Clermont. He cites past deficits and bond costs, defending his opposition to the tax increase.
