Governor Kasich recently proposed a budget that includes a 23 percent cut in the state's income tax, and a half-cent increase on sales tax. He's also proposed a dollar-per-pack increase on cigarettes. This hour we'll talk about who benefits and who doesn't from the proposals, and we'll examine the role of taxes as a deterrent to tobacco use.
