This letter to state legislators aims to gather support from grassroots organizations and constituents to urge members of the Ohio State Legislature to support Senate Concurrent Resolution 09 (Lang) and House Concurrent Resolution 08 (Williams). These resolutions call upon the Ohio Congressional Delegation to make the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent.

If the TCJA expires, Ohioans will face tax increases of over $2,000 per household, and businesses will see an average tax hike of over $800. These changes will impact over 4 million Ohioans.

By highlighting these key benefits, the letter emphasizes the importance of maintaining these provisions to ensure continued economic stability and growth for Ohioans. We urge you to support SCR 09 and HCR 08 to tell congress to PROTECT PROSPERITY & make the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts Permanent. 

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.

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.

Corruption and cronyism have clouded Ohio’s energy policy landscape for too long. The notorious House Bill 6 saga, Ohio’s largest ever corruption case, epitomizes that. Insiders got preferential treatment in the energy policymaking space over the last decade, but we can transform the way we do energy policy in the Buckeye state. HB15 will repeal subsidies from the HB6 saga, strengthen consumer protections, and ensure more transparency and fairness in billing. Sign this letter to your state representative encouraging them to support HB15 so we can take one small step towards better energy policy in Ohio!

Government agencies have been implementing regulations that directly affect business operations in Ohio. These regulations have not been voted on by the people, nor have the persons in these agencies been elected to their positions. The REINS Act will restore the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches, ensuring regulatory decisions get voted on by elected officials. This will make the rulemaking process more transparent and will hold the government agencies accountable for their regulations. Take one small step with AFP-Ohio! Sign this letter to your state representative to encourage them to support HB11, the REINS Act, so we can restore balance in Columbus.
