Pat Fischer on the Property Tax Rollback

Continuing The Property Tax Rollback Is The Right Thing To Do

City Council should continue the so-called property tax rollback. It is not actually a "rollback" because citizens still pay the same overall amount of tax. The increase in the property's valuation is simply not included in the tax calculation. Increasing the tax burden on our citizens will only drive more families and businesses out of our city.

Cincinnati has lost too many citizens because of high taxes already. To compete with surrounding cities for population growth, our tax rates must be as close to the nearby municipalities as possible. When that parity is reached, I would reconsider the issue.
