for example: you live in Cleveland, OH but work in Solon, OH...city taxes are collected by both. However, I have no voting rights or say in Solon government. I thought the Constitution / Bill of Rights stated "no taxation without representation". If I have no say in Solon city government then why does OH allow them to collect taxes from me?

You're not alone. I pay local taxes, and the city where I work collects an annual "commuter tax" supposedly to cover things like police, fire, roads, etc. in the city.
Isn't that why my company pays property taxes on their building? Perhaps if there weren't so many welfare slobs in the city limits, they wouldn't have to levy yet another tax on the working man.
Sigh...

That's not true. In Ohio, if you get taxes collected from two different cities, one of them are supposed to return that in your tax return. Go hire an Accountant that knows what he is doing!!
Also, if you work in one city and live in another, and the city you work in takes taxes out and not the city you live, the city you work in is supposed to pay the city you live all those taxes.

I will bet if you look into why that tax was added you will find a Dem behind it. I do see your point and hope the voters there will push their officials to fix it. BTW OH. does a good job of preventing out sourcing of jobs.
