Report: Ohio House GOP Eyeing Income Tax Cut

On Feb. 7, the Ohio House Finance Committee held its first meeting to review the governor’s FY 2024-2025 budget. Afterwards, committee Chair Rep. Jay Edwards (R-Nelsonville) told reporters that the majority of GOP members wants a tax cut, most likely an income tax cut.

Gongwer News Service quoted Edwards as saying: “I don’t think you’re going to see an elimination of the income tax yet, but I think we’re going to take the first steps toward trying to get closer to a flat tax.” 2/7/2023
