Raga joins anti-tax group

Republican Tom Raga, a former state representative, is helping establish the Ohio chapter of Americans for Prosperity, which advocates for transparency in government and lower taxes. The group is particularly opposed to Ohio’s estate tax

“This tax doesn’t raise that much money. It’s essentially the export your wealthy citizens to Florida tax,” said Jack Boyle, state director for the Ohio chapter.

“A loved one’s death should never be a taxable event,” AFP’s literature says.

Now, that’s not to say that Raga is against all taxes. As a matter of fact, at the same time Raga is volunteering for AFP, he is advocating for a renewal of the property tax that supports Sinclair Community College, where he works full-time.
