Policy & Progress in Ohio

Governor Kasich will on Wednesday reveal a policy update that will create an overhaul on taxes in our state, the Dispatch reports. Included in the “mid-biennium update” will be his energy plan, which will lower income tax in the state by defraying the revenue burden will shale oil proceeds.

The governor has worked closely with energy producers to create an environment that is fair to them and also creates resources for Ohio. In addition to the income tax savings, he’s also including some $30 million for clean coal research — a welcome addition.

This administration’s creativity continues to make new resources appear.
