GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE@GOP_is_Gutless
🚨 Ohio could become the FIRST state in America to abolish property taxes entirely.
A grassroots group led by Brian Massie and Leonard Gilbert is collecting signatures for a constitutional amendment to eliminate all residential and commercial property taxes — and put it on the November ballot.
What started as protecting seniors from being taxed out of their lifelong homes has exploded into a statewide movement after lawmakers refused to even meet with them.
Massie says his own taxes jumped 40% in 10 years.
Gilbert hears daily from seniors on fixed incomes watching their bills skyrocket.
They need ~413,000+ valid signatures by July to qualify. (They’re aiming higher for a cushion.)
Opponents warn it would blow a $24 billion hole in the state budget — threatening schools, police, fire, EMS, and rural services.
Gov. DeWine floated raising the sales tax to 18-20% to fill the gap.
Supporters fire back: Cut spending first. No new taxes. Lawmakers get a full year to reform before collections stop.
This could be one of Ohio’s biggest ballot fights in decades.
