A New Incentive for Ohio's

Big Automotive Companies?

 

Policy Matters Ohio has analyzed House Bill 414, a proposal to give new incentives to large automotive employers in Ohio. The measure will make the new Commercial Activity Tax less fair and efficient and it may subsidize companies that reduce their Ohio workforce without providing real assurances that it will retain additional jobs in Ohio.

 

On February 1, 2006, policy liaison Wendy Patton testified on HB414 before the Ohio House Committee on Economic Development and the Environment.  Read Wendy's testimony here.
