Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

In the wake of stock market bubbles hitting companies like GameStop and AMC Theatres, Congress is once again searching for “solutions.” Unsurprisingly, Congress’s solution—dubbed the Short Sale Transparency and Market Fairness Act—would increase regulatory burdens substantially, this time on investment fund managers, and, according to government regulators, would provide little beneficial information compared to existing reporting requirements.

Bruen, which calls upon the court to recognize that the Second Amendment protects ordinary citizens’ fundamental right to carry handguns outside of their homes. The Buckeye Institute simply could not stand by as New York set up a system relegating the fundamental right to self-defense to second-class status and reserving enjoyment of that right almost exclusively for the well-connected and/or celebrities.

‘Success breeds success.’ Ohio is on a post-pandemic winning streak

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

In The Columbus Dispatch, The Buckeye Institute, looks at the wins in Ohio’s recently passed budget, writing, “Ohio’s budget delivers strong victories, reducing and streamlining taxes, enhancing school choice, and expanding successful criminal justice reform. The fiscal belt should have been tightened and more fat could have been trimmed — moves that will be needed later for sustainability — but across-the-board tax cuts and smart policy reforms extend Ohio’s winning streak and give us all something to cheer.”
