HB 601 reform pitched as Ohio city tax bill
In early 2012 the Ohio House faced House Bill 601 proposing centralized income tax collection for cities and villages. Willard officials warned revenues may fall and local courts lose unpaid tax recourse though supporters call it a jobs bill designed to ease business with a centralized form. Proponents insist the measure remains revenue neutral and not a tax cut.
