Estate Tax Initiative Non-Partisan
The End Ohio Estate Tax initiative is a non-partisan issue which is important to all Ohioans. State Representative and Democrat Mark Okey from the 61st District has put forth HB #456 to the floor of the 128th General Assembly to repeal Ohio’s Estate Tax. Okey’s bill is being held up by Representative Tom Letson, Democratic Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. We applaud Representative Okey for placing this bill on the Ohio House floor.

It was time to take action.” One more important endorsement to End Ohio’s Estate Tax.

This grassroots cause, joined by an ever growing number, was started by a small business owner who wanted a better future for Ohio. Citizens United to End Ohio’s Estate Tax is the ballot issue political action committee formed to run the campaign.

Ohio’s estate tax is levied at rates of 5%–7% on taxable estates over a mere $338,333. It generates less than 1% of total state and local revenues.

The petition now in circulation will give the General Assembly a last chance to end the estate tax. If the General Assembly fails to act, a second petition will be circulated to put the issue on the ballot for the people to decide.

After signing up below, we will mail you all the materials you need to begin gathering signatures. Thank you for helping with this cause!
