AFP Ohio - Building a Bolder, Better Buckeye State

The Problem

Ohio is failing to lead where it counts

Tax Reform: 9 States have a 0% income tax, while many more are on the march to 0% in the coming years.
Education Opportunity: Universal Education Savings Accounts are available in dozens of states and rapidly growing.
Spending: Columbus bureaucrats budgets continue to grow, while Ohioans see their budgets shrink.
Energy Abundance: The current era of Ohio energy production has been mired in scandal and cronyism.

We need to start building a bolder, better Buckeye state for all Ohioans.

Remove Barriers to Innovation

State, local, and federal regulations have made energy more expensive to generate and have jeopardized Ohio’s power grid. Ohio families and businesses need good energy policy to ensure a healthy supply of affordable, reliable energy. Policies must ensure that electricity is affordable and available when Ohioans need it.

Repeal OVEC Subsidies

Government subsidies have rewarded inefficiencies, hampered competition and stifled innovation. Ohioans are still subsidizing two OVEC facilities as part of HB 6 from the 133rd General Assembly, a bill at the heart of Ohio’s largest public corruption scandal in history. These subsidies are costing Ohioans roughly $450k per day.
