The Buckeye Institute to SCOTUS: Government Must Compensate Property Owners for Regulatory Takings

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear El Papel v. Seattle and tell the city of Seattle that it must compensate landlords for taking their property when the city ordered a temporary eviction ban, even for non-paying renters. In its brief, The Buckeye Institute argues that the right to exclude—to say who can and cannot live on your property—is a fundamental element of property rights protected by the Fifth Amendment.

The Buckeye Institute Reacts to Ohio Supreme Court Ruling in Its Important Municipal Income Tax Case

Leave a Comment / Press Releases /

Attorneys at The Buckeye Institute who represent Josh Schaad in Schaad v. Alder reacted to the Ohio Supreme Court’s ruling in this important case. “The court’s ruling is disappointing. Local taxing authorities should be able to tax only within their own jurisdictions—where people live and actually perform the work. There will be other opportunities for the Ohio Supreme Court to recognize those limitations.”

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

Knox County needs property tax revenues today to help close its $950,000 budget deficit. Granting the solar farm its PILOT tax breaks will maintain that deficit and ensure that the county’s property taxpayers ultimately pay more in the future. Knox County officials should at the very least critically consider the fatal flaws in this latest analysis and act based upon realistic projections and sound calculations that account for the realities of inflation.

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed its response to Columbus’s third attempt to reverse the preliminary injunction in Doe v. Columbus, which, according to Ohio law, is not appealable in this case. The injunction stops the city from enforcing its unconstitutional gun law while the case is being decided. “After being denied its requests to lift the preliminary injunction in Doe v. Columbus, Columbus is now pinning its hopes on the Ohio Supreme Court.”

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed its third amicus brief in Murthy v. Missouri (previously Missouri v. Biden), calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the preliminary injunction and stop the federal government from “jawboning” social media companies to censor viewpoints the government does not agree with. “The First Amendment stands as a bulwark against the government’s position that it can squelch public discourse, whether through direct influence or less obvious methods such as ‘jawboning.’”

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute joined with Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) in filing an amicus brief in Eidson v. South Carolina Department of Education, calling on the South Carolina Supreme Court to allow the implementation of the state’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund program. In their brief, Buckeye and WILL note that, as early innovators of school choice efforts, Ohio’s and Wisconsin’s experiences demonstrate that “voters and legislators value giving parents the ability to choose the educational environment that best fits the needs of their children.”
