The Buckeye Institute: Student Loans Forgiven but Negative Consequences Not Forgotten

Leave a Comment / Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute commented on the Biden Administration’s “poorly conceived” decision to forgive student loan debt, which will help “those who need it least—college graduates who can expect to make more money in the future as a reward for their investment.” The decision will negatively impact nearly everyone who “will pay the price through higher inflation and higher taxes.” “Student loans can be forgiven, but the negative consequences certainly will not be forgotten.”

The Buckeye Institute: Ohio’s Job Market Sees Tepid Growth

Leave a Comment / Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute commented on Ohio’s newly released jobs report, saying, “July’s report is positive, if not overwhelming. Ohio added jobs for the first time since the spring, but job growth continues to disappoint, with the state lagging behind the nation. Like many other states, Ohio has not seen workers re-enter the labor force since the start of the pandemic, and some policies…discouraged workers from returning to their jobs. To reverse this trend, state lawmakers need to adopt policies that encourage Ohioans to return to the workforce…”

The Buckeye Institute: Fifth Amendment Means What It Says

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in Ariyan, Inc. v.  Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, urging the high court to protect private-property rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. “The Framers of the U.S. Constitution were clear when they drafted the Fifth Amendment, private property shall not be taken ‘without just compensation.’ And ‘just compensation’ means payment when the taking occurs, not when the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board feels like paying.”

The Buckeye Institute: Ohio’s Job Market Hits the Summer Doldrums

Leave a Comment / Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute commented on Ohio’s newly released jobs report, saying, “June’s report is the second consecutive month of poor job growth, another troubling sign for the Buckeye State’s economic recovery. Ohio’s monthly report shows that the state is following a national trend as concerns about inflation have boosted fears of a recession. Small business owners are pessimistic about the future due to labor shortages and price increases. These are significant headwinds for Ohio’s businesses and workers.”

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the Obama Administration overstepped its authority when it imposed vast new regulations under the Clean Power Plan. “The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with The Buckeye Institute’s arguments and has appropriately and sensibly reined in the vast powers of unelected government officials at the U.S. EPA.”

The Buckeye Institute Calls on Ohio Supreme Court to Recognize Limits on Eminent Domain

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief with the Ohio Supreme Court in Ohio Power Company v. Burns asking the court to uphold two long-recognized checks on the government’s power to take property by eminent domain—that the government may only take property that is necessary, and that courts can exercise the power of judicial review to ensure governments honor that limitation. The Buckeye Institute has called on Ohio’s high court to tell Ohio Power Company and AEP that the permanent easements they are demanding are unnecessary.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen that New York’s requirement for citizens to demonstrate a “special need” to obtain a license to carry a gun for self-defense violates the U.S. Constitution. “The rules New York put in place allowed the well-connected and famous to obtain permits to carry firearms for self-defense while simultaneously refusing to grant the same right to ordinary law-abiding citizens in a clear violation of the Second Amendment.”

U.S. Supreme Court Adopts Position Argued By The Buckeye Institute

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Carson v. Makin that the state of Maine cannot deny students and their families financial aid that is available to all other students just because a family chooses to use their aid to send their children to a religious or “sectarian” school. “As The Buckeye Institute argued in its amicus brief, Maine’s discrimination against religious schools and parents violated the First Amendment, and today’s decision is another significant victory for the rights of families and students.”

The Buckeye Institute Files Brief with U.S. Supreme Court Fighting California Rules Being Imposed on Ohio Farmers

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in National Pork Producers Council v. Ross, urging the court to declare that California’s Proposition 12—which purports to regulate the pork industry within the Golden State, but in reality imposes its regulations nationwide—violates the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause. “Not only does California’s Prop 12 violate the U.S. Constitution, but it also undermines the unique American principle of federalism.”
