Americans for Prosperity-Ohio is partnering with Tea Parties, 9-12 Groups and other liberty organizations across Ohio on a series of Taxpayer Town Halls. These town halls focus on the financial crises that many local governments across Ohio are facing, how those crises could affect citizens, jobs and our economy, what local governments can do to address their financial challenges, and how Issue 2 (Senate Bill 5) can help.

Now that Ohio has passed a budget that addresses the state’s financial crisis without raising taxes, we need to turn our focus to the financial struggles that many of our local governments are facing. Ohio cannot continue on a path to more jobs and prosperity if local governments increase taxes or are forced to layoff employees. Local governments need to use tools that will allow them to balance their budgets by more efficiently, effectively, and transparently managing taxpayer dollars.

Below is a list of scheduled Taxpayer Town Halls, and over the next few weeks we’ll be announcing more town halls across the state. Please join us and bring your friends, family, and neighbors to learn more and find out what you can do to help.
