In The NewsSimple economics: Area legislators seek to kill off state's income tax
4/20/08, The Lima News
COLUMBUS — A group of legislators wants to phase out the state’s income tax in 10 years and said doing so would halt Ohio’s population loss to other states and create jobs. State Rep. John Adams, R-Sidney, and the region’s other legislators are part of a group of 19 pushing the bill introduced Monday. “This idea is not conservative or liberal, left or right, it is just simple economics,” Adams said. “When we tax the risk takers and job creators, we will have less of them.” Republican representatives Matt Huffman, of Lima, Cliff Hite, of Findlay, Jim Zehringer, of Celina, and Lynn Wachtmann, of Napoleon, are co-sponsors of the bill.
