COLUMBUS- The Ohio Senate approved the state's new Biennial Operating Budget maintaining the Upper Chamber's commitment of fiscal responsibility to the taxpayers. "Our constitutionally balanced budget represents an historic investment in the people of Ohio," said Senate President Rob McColley. "Taxes are kitchen table issues for every family, and I'm pleased we completed the mission of substantial property tax and income tax relief." 

We appreciate the governor's support of our significant income tax reform that reduces the tax burden on Ohioans by moving to a single flat income tax bracket. Yet it is puzzling that at a time when Ohioans are demanding a reduction in their property tax burden, the governor vetoed all of the General Assembly's reforms, which would have contained the rate of growth of property tax across the state, added more accountability to local taxing subdivisions, and would have created more ballot transparency to levies.

COLUMBUS-The Ohio Senate introduced a bold budget plan that reduces the state income tax to a single flat tax rate, reforms Ohio's burdensome property tax system, maintains a significant investment in funding education by rewarding performance, and implements a visionary strategy for economic development, including professional sports.
