Representative Thomas provided sponsor testimony on substitute House Bill 335 to the Ohio Senate Local Government Committee, saying the measure applies the same inflation-cap philosophy to inside millage that sponsors proposed for 20-mill floor school districts in HB 186.
Thomas said HB 335 would limit automatic increases in inside millage — the base 10 mills applied across properties and split among county, municipal/city, township and school allocations — so that a local government’s unvoted revenue from inside mills could not grow above inflation without voter approval. “Your bill will not increase due to inside millage unless you voted for it,” Thomas told the committee.
