Ohio Property Tax Elimination Faces Fierce Backlash
A citizens group wants to eliminate property taxes in Ohio.
They aim to place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot.
County auditors are alarmed.
They say the plan could decimate services like police, fire, and schools.
The group needs over 413,000 valid signatures by July 1.
Supporters say the system is broken and needs major reform.
Critics argue it offers no clear alternative revenue model.
Replacing property taxes with sales tax could cause huge spikes.
