 Veto Override Item #66
I'm pleased to share that I voted to override the Governor’s veto of Item #66, putting into motion landmark property tax reform through a provision that encourages levy transparency and promotes responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars on the local level.
The provision was originally included in the recently passed state operating budget, which included a number of actions that aimed to address the unprecedented surge in residents’ property tax burdens across the state through the most pro-taxpayer reforms in nearly 50 years.
The provision makes clarifying changes to ballot language, removes the authority for political subdivisions to charge new replacement property tax levies, and removes the authority for school districts to levy emergency and substituted levies, as well as renewal with an increase levies and combined school district income tax and fixed-sum property tax levies. The language also prohibits a district from requesting a new current expense levy if their prior year carryover balance in general operating funds is greater than 100% of expenses.
Ohio State Fair
 In August, I attended the Ohio State fair, where we had a joint Agriculture Committee meeting with members of the House and Senate! This was a super cool experience, hearing from both chambers and listening to testimony from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, and more.
 Later that afternoon, I was on the Message from the House podcast with my colleague Rep. Mark Hiner and Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Brian Baldridge. We discussed the importance of the agricultural community in Ohio, as well as the significance of the state fair and county fairs.
