The question is, will our lawmakers answer the needs of their constituents? Or will they continue to cater to the tech industry and Big Pharma?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 342 was introduced by the two top members of the Senate Ways and Means Committee &ndash; Sens. Louis Blessing, R-Colerain Township, and Kent Smith, D-Euclid &ndash; and it contains several measures discussed and introduced in other bills over the two-year session.<\/p>\n<p>One was a property <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-speaker-dade-phelan-reach-historical-18-billion-property-tax-cut-deal\/\" title=\"Texas Lt.

That bill would have created a $1,000 tax credit if a property tax bill amounts to more than 5% of a person&rsquo;s income. If it had passed, Ohio would have joined 29 other states and Washington, D.C., with some type of tax circuit breaker.<\/p>\n<p>The bill introduced by Blessing and Smith would also have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberal-dream-walz-signed-free-college-tuition-free-meals-for-kids-and-100-renewable-energy-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Liberal dream: Walz signed free college tuition, free meals for kids, and 100% renewable energy - Washington Examiner\">provided free breakfast<\/a> and lunch in schools and increased the share of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/colorado-penalizes-marriage-in-new-tax-bill\/\" title=\"Colorado Penalizes Marriage in New Tax Bill\">state income tax revenue<\/a> going to the Local Government Fund and the Public Library Fund from 1.7% to 2%.<\/p>\n<p>To pay for the new expenses, the bill would have eliminated some corporation tax cuts to tech and pharmaceutical industries, made short-term rentals pay the state&rsquo;s hotel tax, and tightened a tax break for limited liability company owners that pay lower income tax rates.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Policy Matters Ohio applauds the work of Sens.
