Struggling Ohio village mulls income tax to get share of lottery winner's payout

AMELIA, Ohio (AP) — Officials in the southwest Ohio village of Amelia say they are resisting the urge to quickly pass a local income tax to get a share of the $196 million lottery ticket that was sold there. The windfall could mean more than $1 million to the struggling village of about 4,000 people east of Cincinnati. But Mayor Leroy Ellington says he wants to hear what residents have to say before the village council decides.

Questions:
1. What is to prevent the winner from moving before collecting the ticket?
2. Retroactive laws are not constitutional and
3. If the government promises no one else will get taxed except the "rich", well that was how they got the amendment to the constitution approved for income taxes, only the rich will be taxed.

Do you feel rich?
