Innovation Ohio

#Ohio's progressive politics and policy hub.

[Michael McGovern @mdmcgovern]

I’ve got a piece in the Dispatch this morning:

“Ohioans deserve leaders who won't sell out their communities to the highest bidder – and no amount of campaign-trail repositioning changes who was holding the door open for big tech and out-of-state billionaires when it counted.”

#VivekRamaswamy is giving Mr. Burns as he praises #ElonMusk for becoming the world's first Trillionaire... he just doesn't get it. 🫠

The FBI raids on Ohio voting rights organizations and staff are a deliberate attack to keep us from voting — and to keep our votes from counting, in order to control the outcomes of our elections. Hands off our votes! #Ohio #elections #votingrights

During an interview with Spectrum News, Senator #Husted claimed that he thinks the war is “good news for the global economy” and going “much better than anyone thought it would.” Can someone tell him to watch the news?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

REPORTER: I'm curious, first of all, do you still think that this war is still going much better than you expected?

JON HUSTED: Well, the military aspect of it went very well. The peace aspect has not proven to be as efficient.

[Innovation Ohio @innovationohio]

This is more than an attack on one organization - this is an attack on Ohioans’ freedom to vote. That is why groups representing Ohioans of all walks of life are coming together to resist this power grab. #HandsOffOhio

Trump’s Federal Agents Raided an Ohio Voting Rights Organization. We stand with Ohio voters. Learn more 👉 https://t.co/FUDc4eurIz

[Innovation Ohio @innovationohio]

🚨The raids on #votingrights staff are the latest example of MAGA Republicans trying to rig the rules: They've purged voters from the rolls, drawn districts to dilute Black voters’ power, made voting even harder, and had journalists arrested.

We won’t back down! #HandsOffOhio

[Innovation Ohio @innovationohio]

Ramaswamy’s top economic priority for #Ohio is eliminating the #capitalgains tax.
Why start there? His own financial disclosures and comments show this plan directly benefits the ultra-wealthy...himself included. 😒

3 straight months of higher prices and Jon Husted has voted 7 times for Trump's ill conceived war that's causing it.

❗️Most working Ohioans don’t have significant taxable income from #capitalgains, however HB 617 wants to eliminate that #tax and primarily benefit Ohio’s wealthiest residents.

Not included in this proposed data center "reform"?

- No ban on NDAs

- No labor standards or local hiring requirements

- No community input when power plants are sited next to their homes

And Amazon, Meta, and Google are exempt from the tax change. Their contracts run to 2055

🐣🔔: lawmakers are introducing data center regulations they want to move ASAP in Senate Energy:
- sales tax break still exists, with a lower rate. goes from 100% to between 50%-75% (higher rate IF facilities are on brownfields/they BYOP)
- PUCO to create a data center rate class

[Innovation Ohio @innovationohio]

🆘#Ohio is on the hook for at least $2.3 billion in tax breaks to Amazon, Meta and Google for Ohio #datacenter construction thanks to a secret, 40-year statewide agreement signed by the Kasich administration. No plan will undo this massive #tax giveaway.
