Columbus, OH – Greg R. Lawson, a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute, commented on the report issued by Governor DeWine’s Property Tax Reform Working Group.

“Some of the recommendations from the Property Tax Reform Working Group are positive and align with recommendations made by The Buckeye Institute. However, as Ohioans clamor for relief from skyrocketing property taxes, more needs to be done. Ohio needs to revamp its complex and opaque local government system, as well as its thousands of separate taxing authorities. Until this happens, homeowners will continue to be stuck paying far more than they should for effective and efficient public services.”
