State and Local officials in Ohio might have taken a golden pill and swallowed hard. Possibly allowing 3 new indian gaming casinos tax free permission to open in Ohio.
Instead of a single casino that generates $240 million for Ohio counties, the gambling measure on the November ballot could lead to three casinos that pay no state and local taxes, opponents of the measure said yesterday.
The gambling measure, designated as Issue 6, would provide a boost to an Oklahoma-based Indian tribe that’s been struggling for years to win federal approval to open one or more casinos in Ohio, the Vote No Casinos committee said.
If the Eastern Shawnee tribe succeeds, the wording of Issue 6 would allow the operators of the Clinton County casino to lower their tax rate from the 30 percent in the ballot measure to as little as zero. The measure states that if a second casino opened in Ohio, the original casino would pay “the lesser of the rate taxed on another casino or 25 percent.”
