俄亥俄州众议院通过税制改革;参议院阻断了对资金问题的重大削减。 Ohio House passes tax reforms; Senate blocks major cuts over funding concerns.

俄亥俄州众议院通过地产税改革, 允许13个县采取“搭便车”居地豁免和12.5%的退税, Ohio’s House passed property tax reforms allowing 13 counties to adopt "piggyback" Homestead exemptions and 12.5% tax rollbacks, with six bills moving to the Senate. 一些变化通过预算程序生效,包括通过否决取消征税。 Some changes took effect via budget process, including levy eliminations through a veto override. 但是,更广泛的改革面临重大障碍,因为估计费用高达17亿美元,而且没有明确的资金来源。 However, broader reforms face major hurdles due to estimated costs up to $1.7 billion and no clear funding source. 参议院领导人警告要取消239亿美元的地产税收入,而不取而代之会损害基本服务,认为大规模减税不负责任。 Senate leaders warn eliminating $23.9 billion in property tax revenue without replacing it would harm essential services, calling sweeping tax cuts irresponsible. 批评者认为,如果把这些措施放在选票上,那么这些措施将失败,在感恩节之前,一个全面的一揽子计划仍然悬而未决。 Critics argue such measures would fail if placed on the ballot, and a comprehensive package is still pending before Thanksgiving.
