News: Bad Budget Business, Toledo Blade
Notes: The typical middle class household will pay $24 less next year in taxes as a result of an 11th hour budget deal. For this $2 a month, we will not invest over $400 million into our schools, public safety, or our community parks. A few more teachers in classrooms, or an extra police officer on our street are just some of the sacrifices we make to finance a tax cut for the wealthiest 1% of Ohioans who will receive over $1,800 a year.

Notes: The federal government cuts programs, the state cuts programs. Fiscal responsibility does not mean forcing the ones with the fewest resources to suffer in difficult times. Fiscal responsibility means that Ohio policymakers identify ways to meet the needs of the community in a responsible manner, and not forcing the poorest Ohioans to bear the brunt of a bad economy. Asking the wealthiest Ohioans to pay their fair share to support our community is a good first step toward fiscal responsibility.
