Ohio’s Governor Proposes $10,000 Tax Cut For Top 1% While Raising Taxes On Poor

The plan would cut income taxes for most Ohioans, but increase extend sales taxes to additional goods — which tend to fall on poor and working people. The result is, as Policy Matters Ohio and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found, that the rich would get a huge tax cut while the poorest Ohioans would actually face a tax increase.

But he seems to have overreached on the anti union stuff, maybe the same way here.
