Remember
the slogan, “Vote for casino gambling it will replace state revenue
sharing cuts to local governments?”
The
reality: The
state of Ohio expects casino tax revenue to drop by 18 percent over
the next three years, according to Gov. John Kasich’s budget
proposal released last week [2/6/15].
Reminds
one of the state's
promise that the 2005 commercial activity (CAT) tax would
replace the discontinued
personal property tax
revenue for local governments. To
date the city of Wilmington's general fund has not received a dime of
CAT revenue needed to replace the lost property tax revenue.
