Sen. Jim Hughes, a Columbus Republican, was appointed to the powerful Senate Finance Committee today in a round of seat shuffling that lightened the load for Sen. Mark Wagoner, R-Toledo.

Both Wagoner and Sen. Bill Seitz, R-Cincinnati, were removed from the Finance Committee today by Senate President Bill M. Harris, R-Ashland. Hughes sat on the panel for the first time this afternoon.

“With the many economic challenges facing our state, it is imperative that state government uses its resources wisely to best meet the needs of its citizens while encouraging job creation,” Hughes said. “I am honored to be chosen to serve on this committee and pledge my best efforts to ensure Ohio’s continued fiscal stability and that tax dollars are spent appropriately.”

Congrats Senator Hughes!

Here’s an article from yesterday’s Columbus Dispatch about these BMV fees: Driver’s license late fees piling up

Check out this article from the Dispatch back in April 2009 when our Democrat Governor and Democrat controlled House passed the budget: Ohio’s state budget uses fees to forgo new taxes.  So Ted Strickland technically doesn’t raise taxes, but FEES ARE TAXES.  

So I went online to www.feesaretaxes.com and found American’s for Prosperity are doing another rally at the statehouse on January 30^th.  I am going – anyone else with me?

 Ohio Taxed to the Max Rally

Please join Americans for Prosperity, OH (AFP-OH), the Columbus Tea Party, Ohio Freedom Alliance, Citizens United to End Ohio’s Estate Tax, Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes, and Ohio Citizens Accounting Standards Board at a rally demanding that Ohio’s legislature get spending under control and stop treating taxpayers like an ATM every time they run out of cash. The rally will be held in front of a 15-foot-tall inflatable ATM machine to drive the point home that Ohio’s citizens are “Already Taxed to the Max.”

Date: Saturday, January 30th

Time: 2pm

Here’s another great site to understand Ohio’s poor tax structure: http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/state/50.html
