Findlay City Council approved joining a coalition to sue the state over income tax collection. Law Director Don Rasmussen said that House Bill 49 will affect the city’s tax collections.
Rasmussen told council that there are several municipalities and organizations already in the coalition. He added that something has to be done or else the state will continue to step on the rights of local governments.
Joining the coalition cost $6,000 but if it is successful then the city will continue to keep the 1% the state will take.
