Improving Ohio's Tax Policies To Aid Public Education

Improving Ohio's Tax Policies To Aid Public Education

Ohio's tax system must be stable, competitive, and reflective of the current economy. All sectors of the economy should pay a fair share of the cost of public school education and state government.

I support state reinbursement that fully matches dollar for dollar the loss of any local tanigble personal property tax base to school districts.

I believe the state should earmark a percentage of state revenues for the elementary snd secondary schools and provide an increase in state revenues either through the enactment of an increase in the state sales tax and or state personal income tax. The increase should be earmarked for education and be depositedinto a state public primary and secondary trust fund.

I also support legistlation that would eliminate the overreliance on local property taxes.
