In Brief: The Columbus Bar Blawg

The Governor’s proposed budget (HB 59) includes a new 5% state service tax on a host of professional services deemed non-essential - including legal services.  The Columbus Bar is reviewing the proposal and the possible effects it may have on consumers of legal services, as well as our members.  We’d like to know what our members think – tell us your position on the proposed 5% tax on legal services.
