Episode Details

Ohio’s property tax debate is heating up as candidates pitch wildly different solutions. Republican Vivek Ramaswamy wants to roll back taxes to 2020 levels and cap future hikes—claiming it won’t hurt essential services. But tax expert Zach Schiller calls it a messy plan, lacking targeted relief and unclear funding for local governments. Democrats Amy Acton and David Pepper propose rebates for homeowners hit by recent tax spikes and expand the homestead exemption, especially for seniors—Schiller calls this sensible but insufficient. Libertarian Don Kissick wants to scrap property taxes entirely for consumption-based alternatives, which Schiller warns would be disastrous. With all candidates offering bold ideas, the real challenge remains: making any of them work in a politically gridlocked state.
