Gov. John Kasich’s tax package took body blows yesterday from the left and right of the economic philosophical spectrum.
The conservative Tax Foundation, based in Washington, D.C., sharply criticized parts of the governor’s tax package, particularly the elimination of the state income tax for most small businesses and sole proprietors and the increase in the commercial-activity tax.
Meanwhile, the liberal group One Ohio Now said the income-tax cuts are a poor strategy for economic growth, pointing to the state’s job-growth performance since tax cuts started in 2005.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) wants to lower income taxes and raise sales taxes. He also wants to impose a severance tax on shale gas and oil development in the state.
*I have no idea if that's the first rule...or any rule for that matter. But it should be.
