Where they stand
Their own words, by issue, with the date, the venue and the link. A paraphrase is marked as one.
Data centers
Dan Troy
I certainly am not suggesting that we put out the welcome mat for data centers in Ohio, but if these highly profitable entities are going to show up in our state, we need to make sure that they pay property taxes that correspond to their whole value. While this proposal is not a panacea for addressing the controversial issue of data centers, it certainly will help make sure that their continued development at least pays their fair share rather than continuing to shift the burden onto our homeowners.

Property taxes
Dan Troy
I have consistently fought for long overdue adjustments to Ohio’s Homestead Exemption program to get more help to our seniors and disabled citizens on fixed incomes struggling to pay their property taxes. This provision, which I spoke in favor of on the House floor, will provide some meaningful relief on next year’s property tax bills. I also urged my colleagues in the House to enact increased permanent help every year for our citizens desperately in need of a reduced property tax burden.
Veterans
Dan Troy
Far too often, we’ve seen a proliferation of unscrupulous individuals and entities that take advantage of our vulnerable populations, especially our seniors and veterans. We believe that enactment of this legislation will go a long way in protecting those that served our nation in military service and ensure that they receive the benefits to which they are entitled without being scammed.
