Property Tax Relief Must Continue
Last year, the Ohio General Assembly passed House Bill 96, giving County Commissioners the authority to expand important property tax relief programs for local residents. In response, the Lake County Commissioners voted to double both the Homestead Exemption for qualifying low-income seniors and the Owner Occupancy Credit for homeowners across the county.
These measures provided meaningful relief to many seniors, veterans, and hardworking homeowners facing rising property taxes and increasing financial pressure.
However, under state law, the Commissioners must vote each year to renew these tax relief measures. This June, they will once again decide whether to continue these important protections for Lake County residents.
If you support continued property tax relief for seniors, veterans, and homeowners, please contact the Lake County Commissioners and respectfully ask them to vote in favor of renewing the expanded Homestead Exemption and Owner Occupancy Credit.

It is important that the Commissioners hear from residents who support efforts to provide tax relief and help families remain in their homes.
As former Ohio Governor George Voinovich often said, “Government must learn to do more with less.”
Recently, Willoughby-Eastlake Schools Superintendent Patrick Ward distributed a letter regarding the property tax relief measures that many residents found misleading and lacking important financial context.
Here are the facts:
Due to recent property revaluations, the Willoughby-Eastlake School District was projected to receive approximately $8 million annually in additional property tax revenue.
The temporary tax relief approved by the County Commissioners reduced that increase by approximately $2.3 million — meaning the district would still receive nearly $6 million in additional annual property tax revenue without any additional vote of the people.
The district did not lose existing funding. Instead, the Commissioners acted to provide taxpayers with modest temporary relief from rapidly increasing property tax burdens caused by property revaluations.
Residents deserve full transparency regarding how these financial decisions affect both taxpayers and public institutions.

Senator Ashley Moody is delivering win after win for Florida - now securing $1.5 billion in FEMA disaster recovery funding to help Floridians recover from and prepare for hurricane season.

Meanwhile, Democrats like Jared Moskowitz, Darren Soto, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Kathy Castor kept FEMA defunded for 76 days, openly admitting their DHS shutdown stunt was pointless, that they were “making people hurt,” and using Americans as “leverage” because “why not.”
The Democrats’ political games hamstrung FEMA’s ability to prepare for hurricanes, wildfires, and other disasters, forced more than 4,000 employees to miss paychecks, and disruptedtraining for 45,000 students, including emergency managers, firefighters, and EMTs.
Bottom line: Senator Ashley Moody is fighting for Florida and delivering results, while Democrats held disaster relief hostage just weeks before hurricane season - all to obstruct President Trump’s efforts to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal immigrants from our communities, including murderers, rapists, and gang members.

Caroline Shinkle, a Republican candidate for New York's 12th Congressional District, discusses her uphill battle to flip a deep-blue Manhattan seat.
In Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s New York City, one Republican congressional candidate running in one of the bluest districts in the country says conservative principles can save the city from being "run into the ground."
"Mamdani does not represent where voters in my district are on the issues," Caroline Shinkle, a Republican running in New York’s 12th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital. "He's really gone from incompetence to active destruction, and we see this from the targeting of Ken Griffin to Goldman Sachs choosing to expand elsewhere, from socialism to antisemitism to crime to an out-of-control cost of living."
"This is no way to run a city unless you're trying to run it into the ground," she added.
