Ohio Tax Commissioner

I've been to several conferences where representatives from the Ohio Dept. of Taxation have presented.

It has always bothered me that more often than not these representatives speak as advocates for higher taxes/increased budgets for the state.

I remember one quote from a rep when she said "I don't know how the state will be able to function if a sales tax repeal is passed".

My response..... IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO WORRY ABOUT THAT!!!!

This is why we elect representatives, senators and governors....... this is their job.

The Ohio Dept of Taxation's sole job should be to collect the tax as outlined in the tax code by our elected officials, they should not be in the business of lobbying pro or con anything in the tax code unless those elected officials need their input related to the ability of the department to collect the various state taxes.

Here's the commissioner's comments about tax reform for the state.
