Representative Chris Glassburn - District 15

COLUMBUS– State Rep. Chris Glassburn (D-North Olmsted) today spoke on the House floor to address concerns regarding Senate Bill 9, Ohio’s annual federal tax conformity bill. Rep. Glassburn sought to introduce an amendment that would have stopped an increase to the acceptable threshold for individuals to receive a tax reduction for selling stock in a corporation worth more than $50M to $75M. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation, expanding this threshold would cost Ohio $22M in forgone revenue over the next 10 years and would impact fewer than 1,000 taxpayers.
