COLUMBUS – State Rep. Desiree Tims (D-Dayton) today voted “NO” on the vote to override a school district property tax levy restriction provision vetoed in House Bill 96 (the state operating budget). Line-item 66 would eliminate several types of levies, limiting the choices voters have in how to support their schools and local governments, and would not provide real property tax relief to Ohioans. Real property tax relief is one of the most pressing needs for everyday Ohioans. House Democrats are ready and willing to work together to get that done.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Desiree Tims (D-Dayton) today sent a letter to Governor Mike DeWine requesting he consider a line-item veto of a provision in the State Operating Budget (Am. Sub. House Bill 96) that would place harmful restrictions on Dayton Public School’s use of Dayton RTA’s mass transit systems. 

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Desiree Tims (D-Dayton) Wednesday voted “NO” on House Bill (HB) 96, the Republican-crafted state operating budget, citing cruel and chaotic cuts and its abject failure to invest in children, public education, healthcare, and basic services – all while shoveling billions to the wealthy and well-connected.
