Columbus, OH – Greg R. Lawson, a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute, commented on the passage of House Bill 186 and House Bill 335 by the Ohio House of Representatives.

“Taken together, House Bill 186 and House Bill 335 will help rein in unvoted property tax increases as The Buckeye Institute recommended. While there remains more to do to reform Ohio’s expensive system of local government and protect Ohioans from spiking property taxes, the adoption of the policies in House Bill 186 and House Bill 335 is another step in the right direction, and The Buckeye Institute stands ready to work with lawmakers in the Ohio Senate to make these policies law.”
