Local income taxes can inject much-needed progressivity into otherwise upside-down local tax codes. Voters in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri strongly supported keeping their cities’ local income taxes despite continued attacks on the state’s personal income tax.

Leaders in Warren County, Ohio have also eliminated their property tax millage for property owners, opting for a local sales tax instead.
