Are people seeing where their money goes ? If not, can the people or better yet, will the people of Ohio do something about it ? My other
half is from your great state and it's possible I could end up there some
day. Thanks in advance for your candid responses.

I think you got this data from a CNN article. The data is from 2007. The tax picture has changed alot since then.

You should know that the sales tax in many areas of Ohio is much lower than it is in other areas of the country, my sales tax, for example is 6.5%. Ohio also doesn't have a luxury tax (boats, cars, etc., i know NC has this tax, because my brother has to pay it every year). Ohio also doesn't tax your groceries. Most areas of the state (outside the big cities) don't require an emission check on your vehicle and registration is very affordable, mine is usually under $50 if i'm remembering right. It's also pretty cheap to transfer your plates to a new vehicle, I had to do that last year and it was something like $7.

I should also make you aware that home insurance is also very affordable in Ohio, so that may make quite a difference in your overall expenses.

...or an accurate one.

I wasn't aware that Gov. James Rhodes was a Democrat. After all, he's the guy who floated the bonds which resulted in the state income tax.

Ohio is starting to sound better already. This isn't a political thread so I won't go there. Any thoughts on Ravenna ? It seems like a nice town.

Where are you getting your info? Every website has a different ranking. lol
Gotta' love the internet.
The Census page shows us ranked at #9 but 28th overall when you use "per capita" numbers.

I believe that it was Gov. John Gilligan, a democrat, who pushed thru the state income tax......not Gov. Rhodes. His daughter is the present Secretary of Health/Welfare for Obama.

Later, Gov. Richard Celeste, a democrat, who pushed thru a 90% income tax increase. This started an upswing in welfare benefits and unionization....the beginning of the end for Ohio.

As companies move to lower tax/cost areas and take their jobs out of the State of Ohio, the remaining taxpayers must pay more and more to cover the social service benefits. This just drives even more citizens to move out.

Anyone have $8,000,000,000.00 that they could loan the state so that the budget could be passed?
