State Representative Jim Buchy
Governor
Kasich’s Tax Cuts Help Ohio Farmers
Representing a district that includes the largest agriculture producing
counties in the state also means representing farmers in the area and
throughout Ohio, who know the true meaning of back-breaking labor.
I respect people who work in agriculture because of the unbelievable
hard work and sacrifices that are required to produce the crops that we
eat. Working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week defines these family
businesses. That’s why I always say, never criticize a farmer with your
mouth full.
It is my job as a state representative to make sure that the farmers of
my district are able to continue tending to their business. I have
continued to support Governor John Kasich as governor because of the
huge strides he has made in reducing the burden of taxes on all
Ohioans, but especially farmers.
Since the beginning of his time as governor, he has made reducing taxes
for all Ohioans a top priority. He knows that putting more money into
the pockets of consumers equals more money to stimulate the economy.
Within his first year as governor, the Governor worked to kill Ohio’s
death tax. This meant that Ohio farmers could now pass down their farm
to their children without passing down assets that faced an unfair tax.
We will continue working to ensure this tax never again inhibits
Ohioans from keeping a family farm in the family.
In 2013, all Ohioans reaped the benefits of Governor Kasich’s hard work
when he put in place an 8.5% cut in personal income taxes. Small
businesses, which include farmers, saved even more when they were able
to claim an additional 50% tax deduction. That tax deduction is set for
a temporary expansion in 2014, which will help farmers save even more.
Tax deductions aren’t the only thing that Governor Kasich supports to
help Ohio farmers. The agriculture industry of the 84th House District
has received nearly $1 million in workers’ compensation rebates as
well.
These efforts go to show that Ohio government is working for farmers to
make sure that they get the cuts and rebates that they need. The
leadership of Governor Kasich in job creation and economic growth has
helped the 84th House district and the entire state.
