The Buckeye Institute Calls on SCOTUS to Protect the Rights of Law-Abiding Americans Against Foreign Gov’ts

The Buckeye Institute, joined by Mountain States Legal Foundation, filed an amicus brief in Smith & Wesson v. Mexico, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and tell officials in Mexico that it cannot shift the blame for its failure to control drug cartel crime in its country onto American companies. “When Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, it was clear Congress intended to protect the Second Amendment.”

The Buckeye Institute: Streamlining Local Government Will Ease Property Tax Burden

The Buckeye Institute testified before the Joint Committee on Property Tax Review and Reform and offered lawmakers several recommendations to ease the property tax burden on Ohioans. In the testimony, Buckeye pointed out that with 924 cities and villages, 1,308 townships, more than 600 school districts, 88 counties, and hundreds of other special taxing districts, Ohio has an “over-supply of local government reflects” that has “saddled Ohio with the 12th highest local tax burden as a percentage of income in the country.”
