Welcome back, Don. 27 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.519 It's always good having you on the show, Brian. 28 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.680 Always a pleasure to be with you. Thanks for having me. 29 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.079 Well, it's something you and the folks in Americans for 30 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.879 Prosperity were working on is lowering the state income tax. 31 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:32.719 And I guess you got at least part of what 32 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:38.079 you're looking for. Anybody making over twenty six fifty one 33 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.000 dollars will pay a flat two point seventy five percent, 34 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.439 which some are calling a discount for those making a 35 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.519 whole lot of money. People used to used to pay 36 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.719 I guess three and a half percent over one hundred 37 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.239 thousand dollars. They've eliminated that to go with the flat tax. 38 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.159 I'm sure you're you're happy about that. 39 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.159 Well, yeah, getting Ohio to a flat tax is a 40 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.599 critical first step to getting Ohio to a zero percent 41 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.920 income tax, and that's been our long stated goal. Getting 42 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.520 to making this leap happen at this time in this 43 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.960 state budget is critical to that long term objective, and 44 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.479 so we're thrilled that in the conference committee reports, nothing's 45 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.800 grant nothing's taken for granted here, but the Conference Committee 46 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.000 of both the House and the Senate Finance Committee leadership 47 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.479 saul right to keep this in the final conference report 48 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.800 that they'll send to the floor of both chambers today 49 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.159 ultimately go to the governor. 50 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.319 And this is big for the state of. 51 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.319 Ohio well, and obviously makes this more competitive. Some states 52 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.479 don't have any income tax, and you know, you look 53 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.240 at I believe of what Texas, Florida, it's a huge 54 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.520 draw for businesses and others who are trying to get 55 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.199 away from heavy taxation. So I understand the point how 56 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.199 much money. I'm sure there are people who were objecting 57 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.360 to this discount, but moving from three point five percent 58 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.639 over one hundred thousand do to two point seventy five percent, 59 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.120 how much money will the state not be taking and 60 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.000 what does that equal to in terms of millions or 61 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.280 billions of dollars? As the case may be in less 62 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:06.960 generated revenue. 63 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:08.199 Yeah. 64 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.919 I think what we've seen from the Legislative Service analysis 65 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.639 and what our Democrat progressive friends have been yelling out 66 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.080 is one point six billion dollars unless revenue at the 67 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:19.919 state will collect. 68 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.199 But here's the interesting thing. 69 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.560 We've gone over the last decade from nine tax brackets 70 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.599 with the top marginal rate of four point ninety nine 71 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.319 percent down to where we are currently today with two 72 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.520 brackets top rate of three point five percent. In that 73 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.120 same period of time, we've seen our revenues on both 74 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.800 income and sales tax increase to the tune of about 75 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.680 four or five billion dollars. This isn't surprising stuff, Brian, right. 76 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.080 We see this happen on a federal level when the 77 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.439 tax cuts were enacted twenty seventeen, When the Reagan tax 78 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.680 cuts were enacted in the eighties, people had more money. 79 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.800 They put that money into the economy. The government found 80 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.199 its way into our pockets one way or another. But 81 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.080 we do it not by having that money go to 82 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.759 Washington or Columbus and be redistributed by the bureaucrats. We 83 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.319 have that money invested into our communities, our states, our businesses, 84 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.360 our families, our homes, our properties. That then enables right 85 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:19.240 these low flat, broad based taxes to collect those revenues 86 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.000 and fund the essential services that we need. We're just 87 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.519 letting the people decide where they're going to spend their money, 88 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.360 not the bureaucrats. 89 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.800 Well, and that's always a good thing from my perspective, 90 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.959 and one point six billion it doesn't. 91 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:34.079 I don't look at that. 92 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.920 As a sizable figure, particularly noting that the budget does 93 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.439 include one point seven billion in unclaimed funds to fund 94 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.000 a sports and cultural and various sports and cultural projects, 95 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.879 so they can throw that money out of the world 96 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.439 give six hundred million dollars to the Browns, which really 97 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.079 just frankly and directly pisses me off. I don't think 98 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.920 one can complain about one point six billion dollars less 99 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.040 going into Columbus. 100 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.839 Well, no, and I think we're the complaints come from 101 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.839 a one point six billion is they want to find 102 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.639 new and expanded ways to spend money. Here's another thing 103 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.120 that's important what we're doing on this budget. And the 104 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.680 final numbers from the conference report aren't available yet, and 105 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.560 the appropriations we'll see those soon enough. But the Governor, 106 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.199 with the Senate and House ultimately did was trim back 107 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.079 the governor's spending proposals by about five five and a 108 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.480 half billion dollars. We're still growing the state government here 109 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.959 in Ohio by about I think seven or eight billion, 110 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.120 give or take, and we're doing that off of already 111 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.959 what I would say are inflated. 112 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:37.839 Numbers coming out of COVID. 113 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.720 Right, there were large cash infusions from the federal government 114 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.199 that caused our budget to balloon tens of billions of 115 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.600 dollars over the last couple of buyenniums, and we're not 116 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.360 raining some of that in So the key thing here 117 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.839 is we've expanded government over the last couple of buy 118 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.079 aenems due to these cash infusions from the federal government, 119 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.639 and we're continuing to budget in a way that grows 120 00:05:59.000 --> 00:05:59.560 are spending. 121 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:00.959 Senate trimmed some. 122 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.240 Of that back, but we really need to be restrained 123 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:07.800 going forward in our growth in. 124 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:08.759 The way we spend money. 125 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.040 Ultimately, is going to take a governor who says I 126 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.399 want a flat budget or I'm going to really, you know, 127 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.360 take some heavy cuts to what the state government's doing. 128 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.319 But we'll get to that, you know, in the coming months. 129 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.680 In years, it's. 130 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.000 Gonna say we don't have one of those right now, 131 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.160 Donald the neil hold On will bring it back and 132 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.639 talking about some other elements involved in the state budget. 133 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.079 More with Americans for Prosperity Dona Anil after I mentioned 134 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.199 affordable imaging services, speaking of money and ways to save 135 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.040 heap loads of money. Exercise your right to choose where 136 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.079 you get your medical care and don't go to the 137 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.920 hospital imaging department. Hospitals own your physicians practice. That's usually 138 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.519 the case these days. They want to keep the money 139 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.399 in house. They're instructed their doctors are instructed to refer 140 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.120 you to the hospital imaging department. We're an echo cardiogram, 141 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.040 probably sit around for three weeks to a month waiting 142 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.800 around to get the appointment. Thirty five hundred dollars or 143 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.839 more is what you're going to pay separate bill perhaps 144 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.519 for the board certified radio. I'll just report you need 145 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.600 one of those. Don't go there.

Donovan, real quick, I 193 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.200 got to bounce off your head, just get your initial reaction. 194 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:32.720 We don't need to talk about it at length, but 195 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.080 I had Greg Lasson for the Buck Institute talking about 196 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.679 the proposal to amend the constitution to eliminate the property 197 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:43.799 tax and the complication, the myriad complications that will arise 198 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.240 if that, in fact happens. Has Americans for Prosperity taken 199 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.360 a position on that particular initiative, just real quick. 200 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.200 We haven't taken an official position on it, but I 201 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.440 think what the folks who are advocating for that, I 202 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.159 think we were fellow travels with that right. 203 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.879 We are taxed enough already. 204 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.639 We need to do something about this, as Greg and 205 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.360 others will point out, and we sort of recognize as well, 206 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.960 it's not as simple as just the limits and property taxes. 207 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.399 But what I think is important in that what that's 208 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.919 doing and the folks who have who're circling with petitions 209 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.519 and doing that work or doing is it's raising the 210 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.960 specter of this in Columbus. It is something that's talked 211 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.320 about in all corners of tap Square, and you know, 212 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.840 folks want to see something happen here or else. I 213 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.679 think there's a very real reality that goes on the 214 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.799 ballot and who knows what happens after that. 215 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.519 Oh my god, the work that they'll have to do 216 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.080 to unring or to deal with the aftermath of that, 217 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.639 and how things are funded, it's just going to be 218 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.080 a nightmare scenario, that's what might. It makes me laugh 219 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.480 every time I think about it. Those guys haven't done 220 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.120 jack squat to address the problem, and now they're facing 221 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.120 I mean, it's like they're facing the end of a 222 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.559 gun here to their head with this initiative coming up 223 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.240 on the ballot. So anyhow, I'm sure you and I'll 224 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.759 have further discussions about that, but I know funding was 225 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.720 something that's in the state budget. Talk about what you 226 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.159 saw in the Senate bill. 227 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:11.039 Well, yeah, And it's interesting Hollywood, Washington, d C. And 228 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.080 state capitals are the only places where you know, fantasy 229 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.200 can become reality, and it's fantasy here really. 230 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.360 Brand is school districts. 231 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:23.360 School boards, the teachers unions in particular complaining about an 232 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.240 increase and their funding. They're arguing, right that they that 233 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.519 what they thought they were going to get was lower 234 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.879 than what they got and hence that's a cut. Really 235 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.039 is state of Ohio spending more and more on education 236 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.759 every by aneum. It's a you know, from both the 237 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.879 state share. And then going back to property taxes. The 238 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.279 reason one of the major reasons our property taxes are 239 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.480 as high as they are is because the various tactics 240 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.799 and tools that the school boards across the state use 241 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.799 to sort of increase unvoted put unvoted tax increases on 242 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.879 property owners in the state. And so we want money 243 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.960 to go to education. We think parents, families should be 244 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.519 able to choose how to spend those dollars. They're the 245 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.639 ones best equipped to keep the system accountable and honest 246 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.279 and get the best outcomes education. Seeing an increase in 247 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.840 this budget, that's a good thing. Some of the proposals 248 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.039 by the Senate to increase performance on that, I think 249 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.799 are what we really need. Right we hear folks like 250 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.080 the vig Ramaswami talk about we need to get better 251 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:24.320 outcomes in our station. I think We're still a ways 252 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.840 off from that that being done. But you know, to 253 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.279 our friends and family who are in the education space 254 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.679 who are saying that the world is crumbling and education 255 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.799 is underfunded. In the state, education is seeing an increase 256 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.639 in funding in this budget, maybe just not as much 257 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.879 as our friends at the Ohio Education Association the OEA 258 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.720 Teachers Union would like it to be. 259 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.960 Well, this is something else that Greg Lawston for the 260 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.879 Buck Institute brought up. You know, state dollars, like federal dollars, 261 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.759 come with strings attached. So if you're getting education dollars 262 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:58.440 from Columbus, they can require performance standards for example. 263 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:02.519 Right, that's right, Well, that's right. Well, and that's the other. 264 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.320 Part of it, right is you talk again, This all 265 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.639 wines back to property taxes and the thirty nine hundred 266 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.519 plus political subdivisions that exist in the state, but specifically 267 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.399 on education. These folks want the money without the strength 268 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.559 right now. They want all the reward without any other 269 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.399 risk or the accountability that comes with it. And that's 270 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.200 a problem we've in. Any time lawmakers begin to kind 271 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.399 of Columbus push on that in a good way, they 272 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.559 get slapped back down because every one of these school boards. Right, 273 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.600 six hundred school boards each with what five to seven members? Right, 274 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.240 that's a couple thousand lobbyists right there. Add in the 275 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.279 teachers' unions and they're paid folks, that's another couple thousand 276 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.360 lobbyists descending on the state House. We need to push 277 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.519 back against these folks harder and harder if we're going 278 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.720 to actually get the accountability and reform we deserve. 279 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:53.720 Exactly putting myself in a position of elected capacity, either 280 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.799 as a senator or a representative. You know, my response 281 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.159 to those people knocking on my door demanding more money 282 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.000 and no account on ability. My dad sold phrase, I 283 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.159 got two words for you, and it ain't happy birthday. 284 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.519 How come these people are in capable of just saying no, 285 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:08.240 get the hell out of my office. 286 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.919 Well, I think we begin to I think what we're 287 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.559 seeing is a beginning, that beginning in that cultural shift. 288 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:13.759 Right. 289 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.720 You have decades of folks just being told yes that 290 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.200 when you begin to tell them no, it. 291 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.879 You know, it's it's a shock, it's a it's a 292 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.720 it's a. 293 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.120 Tectonic plate shift here, right, And I think what we're 294 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.000 beginning to see is that shift. What again, what I 295 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.840 think it ultimately takes. And this is where as an organization, 296 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.120 we have a little bit of a long view on 297 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:34.799 a lot of this stuff, right, So we look for 298 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.559 these minor these these cultural shifts where the cruise ship 299 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.440 is turning, the big cruise ship is turning. We've got 300 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.320 the right folks in the legislature who are willing to 301 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.600 say those things, to make those to make those reforms, 302 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.639 introduce those reforms, talk about those reforms. I think in 303 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.080 a lot of ways, what we really need is as 304 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.600 an executive who's going to also drive that mandate. 305 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:03.080 Right, ramis Slammy Viva Ramaswami looking forward to the days 306 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.279 when we have him in office, when he'll embrace this 307 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.639 stuff all day long.

They got to 372 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.279 do a detailed cost analysis now for every rule and 373 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.799 to the extent it has that economic impact at that 374 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.200 monetary level, it can be paused, it can be rejected, 375 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:28.359 or it goes to the full General Assembly for approval. 376 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.680 So the General Assembly actually has to vote on something 377 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.240 that's going to have that that that economic impact. 378 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.079 Yeah, and that's that's incredibly transformational that it is exact 379 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.759 kind of stuff we're talking about right where right now, 380 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.720 jcart does a phenomenal job providing scrutiny to all the 381 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.799 rules and regulations that the executive agencies are putting out. 382 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.880 But what we've asked for right and what the rains 383 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.720 Acts does is it has an extra layer scrutiny to 384 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:54.920 those things, those items that you just pointed. 385 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.680 Out there by requiring go. 386 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.759 To the full General Assembly. Now there's a couple of 387 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.640 different pathways there. We want to make sure that you know, 388 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.720 there's not some sort of default if the j car 389 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.599 doesn't sort of keep his hand on the steering wheel here, 390 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:10.799 that the rule can just go into place. But what 391 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.000 it appears to do is say that if it if 392 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:16.400 it triggers or goes over that one hundred thousand or 393 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.400 one million dollars on economic drag impact, that it goes 394 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.559 to the General Assembly, and it has to be the 395 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.559 General asembly has to approve that rule. That'd be transformational 396 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.759 for the state of Ohio and really begin to stop 397 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.599 and stem the tide of proliferation we're seeing in new 398 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:33.839 rules occurring here in the state of Ohio. 399 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.200 One might argue that's probably the most important provision in 400 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.359 this budget proposal. They're going to vote on it today 401 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.599
