Time-Gazette (Hillsboro, OH) Editorial Board Uses State Business Tax Climate Index to Call for Economic Action
"Strickland Passes the Buck as Ohio's Struggles Mount"
By Times-Gazette Editorial Board
Still, after two years, one would think Strickland would make some progress. Instead, Ohio now has the 47th worst tax climate for business, as ranked by the Tax Foundation. This is one spot worse than in 2006. For individual income taxes, the state also stands at 47th in the nation.
Blaming President Bush is convenient; but to borrow a phrase from Harry Truman, the buck stops with Strickland. If he's going to turn Ohio around, it's time to get started and time to stop passing the buck.
