Pushback grows to property tax reform bill that would end inside millage | Reporters Roundtable
Manage episode 489902421 series 1313319
Ohioans have told lawmakers they need to do something about increasing property taxes. While a grassroots effort to put a constitutional amendment before voters to abolish property taxes works to collect petition signatures, a number of other bills and proposals are taking shape at the Statehouse.
One of those bills would reduce property tax collections by $3.5 billion is getting pushback. House Bill 335 would eliminate the 1% property tax value that schools and local governments can levy without voter approval. It's known as inside millage.
The bill is sponsored by Republican state Representative David Thomas of Jefferson, in Ashtabula County. Schools and local governments say the bill would be cataclysmic for school staffing and public services.
Property taxes and what to do about them begins this week’s discussion of news on the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.”
