🚨 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. Would you vote to end property taxes? #Ohio #AbolishPropertyTaxes #AxOHTax #TaxReform #BallotInitiative
