Ohio Senate Democrats will continue our fight to protect homeowners, preserve democracy, and provide property tax relief to those who need it most.

The legislation passed at the Statehouse in November won’t provide the meaningful property tax relief to Ohioans that they deserve. Property tax reform is possible, but not by putting that responsibility on local communities and taxpayers.

Many Ohioans' property taxes have skyrocketed recently because, without Fair School Funding, school districts have been forced to over-rely on levies that many local communities can't afford.

The Redistricting Commission is constitutionally required to meet during the month of October, hold public hearings, and pass a bipartisan congressional map that is representative of Ohio’s electorate.

"It’s time to honor the will of the people, to protect every community’s voice, and to draw maps that finally reflect the Ohio we all call home," Senator Blackshear continued.
