Ohio lawmaker proposes land value tax amendment as alternative to property tax elimination β€’ Ohio Capital Journal While activists gather signatures to try to eliminate property taxes statewide in Ohio, a Republican lawmaker is suggesting Ohio should tax the underlying land instead of the total property including ...

Wow.

A MAGA Ohio Legislator is proposing a Georgist Land Tax.

I'm sure any of this proposal that comes to pass will be customized to favor the wealthy. Anything can be ruined.

The Ohio MAGA Organized Crime Regime is stealing public money and funneling it to fake, bullshit schools that contribute to their campaigns!

Many of these fly-by-night criminal operations are urban.

They're mobsters.

The Starbucks on Playhouse Square closed.

May have something to do with their people-hating re-design?

After having a pretty cool upstairs seating area, they slowly closed all of it off until the shop was "to go" only.

F-'em.

FirstEnergy defendants say $4.3 million wasn’t a bribe In their most comprehensive explanation of their innocence to date, lawyers for FirstEnergy’s executives say their money wasn't a bribe. It was stolen.

The criming and gouging of the monopoly is impressive.

Before you say "shop around," you know the other suppliers all base their offers on whatever this is.

It's just a bad look.

It's a better look to have the scam artists prey on urban children and their families.

Btw, the MAGA statehouse won't allow you to obtain or even establish performance measures for the scam artists and their parasitic schools.
