Back-to-School Tax Holiday a Chance to Support Small Businesses

NFIB State Director Chris Ferruso says Ohio’s upcoming back-to-school sales tax holiday is a great opportunity for people to help local businesses during difficult economic times.

You support the businesses that create jobs and support local schools and civic groups.” “Small business is the engine that powers Ohio’s economy,” Ferruso said. “That’s why it’s important for people to shop small this weekend and throughout the year.”
