I believe we can address school funding issues without further raising taxes and maintaining local control of our schools. Ten years ago the Ohio Supreme court determined that our schools rely too heavily on local property taxes. Many people think the state should contribute more money to our schools. Unfortunately, this would only increase our taxes and ultimately take away local control of our schools. Eliminating property taxes and using local earned income taxes would help to greatly reduce the need for additional levies, address inflationary issues of the schools, protect those on fixed incomes from rising taxes, and maintain local control of our schools.
