Notes: Governor Kasich will propose another income tax cut, primarily benefiting the wealthiest Ohioans early next year. Despite research to the contrary, the Governor believes this will create a flood of new investment in Ohio. Our state cut income tax rates in 2005 and again in 2013, and since that time our economy remains stagnant compared to other states. The tax cuts have also forced billions of dollars to be cut from local schools, public safety and social service programs.

Instead of using speculative revenue from a severance tax increase to pay for a tax cut for the wealthiest Ohioans, Ohio should invest in efforts such as expanding college assistance, affordable preschool options, public safety, and equitable and adequate funding for our public schools.
