We see that the Ramaswamy campaign now is starting to announce that they realize that property taxes are impacting the lives of Ohio citizens. As I read the ad, I wondered what the Ohio legislators were going to do about the property tax issue? We know that Senator Jerry Cirino, Senator Rob McColley (Lt. Governor candidate) and Speaker of the House Matt Huffman are not going to help Ohio citizens with property tax relief. Until we hear McColley and Huffman publicly state that they will make meaningful changes to the property taxes, we will continue to call them out. Senator Cirino is a lost cause, and we know it is a waste of time to get him to worry about seniors in the State.
Vivek’s Plan:
Roll Back Property Taxes
Vivek Ramaswamy will deliver immediate relief by rolling back property tax levels to where they were before the end of the Covid pandemic.
That means:
- Lower property tax bills for homeowners
- Relief for farmers and rural communities
- More money back in your pocket
This would be the largest property tax rollback in Ohio history.
The Hard Truth
Ohio taxpayers are now paying roughly 40% more per pupil than before the Covid pandemic, yet academic outcomes have declined – due to the disastrous public school closures during the pandemic and the erosion of math, reading, and writing standards in our public schools.
Ohio homeowners are paying more than ever in property taxes, and our kids aren’t benefiting from it either. That’s unacceptable.
Vivek is determined to fix it with a common-sense plan that delivers real property tax relief while restoring excellence in education.
Lower Property Taxes.
Real Relief for Ohio Families.
Property taxes in Ohio have surged since the Covid pandemic, and families are feeling it.
Homeowners and farmers are paying dramatically more, even as budgets are stretched thin. Since 2020, property tax collections on homes and farmland have jumped by nearly 45%. That’s thousands of dollars out of the pockets of hardworking Ohioans.
At the same time, local governments and schools received billions in federal support.
But despite higher spending, too many families are seeing worse results, especially in our schools.
