Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton “is trying to double your state income tax.”
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: The claim is based on a Republican estimate that Acton’s proposals would require more than $21 billion in new annual spending, but the calculation relied on broad and unsupported assumptions. Acton has not proposed doubling Ohio’s income tax, and her campaign said she would not raise it to fund her plans.
