💥 APPARENTLY, we’ve achieved the impossible.

➡️ The Right says we’re liberals.
⬅️ The Left says we’re conservatives.

Why?

↔️ Because we won’t repeat either side’s talking points on command.

We follow the evidence. We show our sources. We call bull when the facts warrant it — regardless of whose bull it is.

If criticizing a Republican makes us “liberal,” so be it.

If criticizing a Democrat makes us “right-wing,” so be it.

If the facts hack off both sides, we’re not changing the facts to make either side comfortable.

⛔ Ohio Common Ground isn't here to join your political tribe.

We're here to make BOTH tribes compete for your vote.

Get used to it.

Politicians must earn your vote.

💥 IT’S OUT …

YOU’VE HEARD both slogans — "they're defunding our schools" and "schools have never had more money."

Here's the catch: depending on how you measure it, both can be true. That's why the argument never ends.

So we did the work — two decades of Ohio numbers, straight from the primary sources, every definition of "funding" laid side by side. No spin, no party line. Just the record, so you can judge for yourself.

WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?

The Ohio Common Ground Research Center just released a full review spanning four Ohio administrations — Taft to DeWine, Republican and Democrat alike — built entirely from auditors' and prosecutors' own findings.

WHEN OHIO OFFICIALS TELL US local governments simply "can't" replace the property tax, it's worth listening closely to that word.

It's true that, today, a township can't levy an income tax or a sales tax. A county can't tax income. A school district can't levy an income tax without asking its voters — and can't levy a sales tax at all.

But "can't" isn't the same as "impossible." Every one of those limits is written in state law — and the people describing the limits are the same people who write it. Most of those doors could be opened by an ordinary act of the General Assembly. No constitutional amendment required.

Which quietly rewrites "we can't" into a more honest sentence: "we haven't chosen to."

Our new Research Center white paper, “Who May Levy What”, lays out exactly who can tax what in Ohio today — and what it would take, in statute or in the Ohio constitution, to change it. Plain-language, primary-source, and strictly nonpartisan.

📄 Out Friday, July 31 — posted on the Ohio Common Ground website.

Because: Politicians must earn your vote!

OHIO’S PROPERTY TAX debate usually starts with one question: Should the tax stay or go?

But eliminating a tax does not eliminate the services it currently funds. So the next question matters just as much:

What would replace the revenue?

Tomorrow, Ohio Common Ground releases a new white paper examining the major options — including spending reductions, sales and income taxes, local replacement taxes, targeted relief, economic growth, and hybrid approaches.

No slogans. No predetermined conclusion. Just the numbers, tradeoffs, documented evidence, and unanswered questions.

Releasing tomorrow: “Replacing Ohio Property Tax Revenue — An Evaluation of the Options”

#️⃣2️⃣ New Ground Truth: Did Ohio lawmakers actually lower your costs this session?

Eight affordability bills were enacted in the 136th General Assembly this year. We checked what each one actually does — not just what its title says.

The short version: most of them slow how fast a cost can grow. Only one reduces what a household owes right now, and it doesn't kick in until June.

Twenty more bills — on housing, prescription drugs, wages, and health insurance — are still sitting in committee.

One page, sourced, no spin.

NOW FROM OCG: Ohio has forgone well over $1 billion a year in state sales tax to attract data centers — in some agreements, that works out to more than $1 million in forgone tax per long-term job the project is required to create.

What does the state actually get back, and what does the construction phase pay in taxes? We pulled the numbers together.

NOW AVAILABLE: White Paper No. 1

We're pleased to release the first publication from the Ohio Common Ground Research Center.

The Uncontested Majority examines Ohio's 2026 State House and State Senate primary elections using official election results published by the Ohio Secretary of State.

Among its findings:

• 181 of 223 legislative primaries (81%) were uncontested.
• 75 of 116 legislative districts had no contested primary in either major party.

The report explains the methodology, cites its sources, and documents the data so readers can evaluate the findings for themselves.

This is the first in an ongoing series of Ohio Common Ground white papers dedicated to objective research, transparent methodology, and documented sources.
