Quote of the day

“Today’s ruling allows The Buckeye Institute’s case to move forward and ensures that Dr. Manal Morsy will have her day in court to challenge the city of Cleveland’s unconstitutional attempt to impose an extraterritorial municipal income tax on people who do not live in Cleveland – or even live in Ohio in Dr. Morsy’s case – and did not work in the city during the pandemic. This type of government overreach offends the basic principles of fairness recognized by the Ohio Supreme Court.”

Jay Carson: senior litigator with The Buckeye Institute, on a ruling allowing Dr. Manal Morsy’s lawsuit, one of several filed against Ohio cities by The Buckeye Institute, that tests a state law that was altered during the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to allow cities to collect taxes from workers who did not work in those cities to move forward.
