Ohioans get green light to collect signatures to get property tax issue on ballot

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A group of Ohioans got the green light to start collecting signatures to try and abolish property taxes in a meeting that lasted about ten minutes.

“Our legislators have let us down. Okay? We needed property tax reform for decades. They've done nothing,” Mayor of the Village of Timberlake and petitioner John Marra said.

Marra, along with four others from northeast Ohio, put together a proposed constitutional amendment to try and rid of the tax completely.
