Ohio Tax Wars Heat Up | Cleveland News

Ohio’s tax future is heating up as Governor Mike DeWine resists further cuts, arguing the state has already slashed income taxes significantly—with businesses no longer pushing for more. But challenger Vivek Ramaswamy wants to go even further, proposing a complete elimination of the state income tax, claiming it would spur economic growth and boost sales tax revenue. He also suggests offsetting lost income tax by cutting waste and fraud—and even starting with a small move: eliminating capital gains tax. Critics, including Policy Matters Ohio’s Zach Schiller, say past tax cuts haven’t made Ohio more competitive, pointing to population loss, lagging employment rates, and shrinking congressional representation. The Democratic candidate calls Ramaswamy’s plan out of touch, favoring the wealthy while hurting working families—highlighting a stark divide over Ohio’s economic direction.
