Leonard Gilbert and I are on a mission to educate Ohio citizens about the evils of property taxes. The following video was recording at the Lake County Liberty Coalition meeting held in Willoughby, Ohio on January 31, 2024. We would like to thank Timberlake Mayor John Marra and Mentor resident Kevin Gilbert for their technical expertise with the equipment setup in the meeting hall.
Property ownership is the foundation of our liberty.
Any tax that, if unpaid, causes a citizen to become homeless is immoral!
Here are the handouts that were provided to the meeting attendees:
- The Illusion of Home Ownership
a. Summary of Lake County Property Tax Collection 2022 – 2023
b. Housing Affordability Threshold Calculation
c. Analysis of Lake County Seniors Exceeding HAT% (calculated prior to the 2024 estimated 30% property value increases)
d. Bullet points for discussion
e. Citizens’ Initiative To Eliminate Property Tax
2. The Bible and Property Tax by Pastor Matt Trewhella
A very powerful narrative by Pastor Trewhella refering to Biblical scripture to make the argument that the Property Taxes are unbiblical and an evil tax.

3. Impact of Sexennial Revaluation in 2024 on Municipalities, School Districts, and Taxpayers
4. State of Ohio revenue and expenditures for 2023.
Please take a look at the source of the majority of the State’s revenue $43.3 billion (50.67%) from the federal government)
The number one expenditure for the State of Ohio is $43.5 Billion (52.49%) for public assistance and Medicaid.
Leonard Gilbert and I are willing to speak to any group in Ohio that would like to be informed about the property taxes, and our initiative to abolish property taxes in the State of Ohio. All requests for a speaking engagement can be sent to the following email address: stoppropertytaxes@gmail.com
