Law's Eric Chaffee warns about the consequences of abolishing property taxtes

20% sales tax on a pack of gum? If property taxes are abolished Gov. DeWine warns it could happen

WOIO: Eric Chaffee, the John C. Hutchins Professor of Law, warned that abolishing Ohio’s property taxes would devastate local services, especially those for schools, police, fire and children. He said the state would face a major funding crisis, forcing lawmakers to raise income taxes dramatically or hike sales taxes—potentially as high as 20% statewide.
