  • Wow, this is going to be handy for me

    Wow, this is going to be handy for me

    by CeeCee Collins

    Have you seen the technology on AI? This month’s article is on AI and Chat GPT. It seems suddenly, I keep hearing more messages about AI. I am familiar with Artificial Intelligence and have read some about the technology, however, I was not aware of chat GPT until recently.

    At first, I couldn’t decipher how it was different than google. You simply have a question or topic and throw it into a search. Chat GPT takes the topic and search way further. The difference, it’s original content. This blew my mind! Not only did I think, wow, this is going to be handy for me, but my mind went to so many industries and careers that this will alter. Education will look different. What’s to stop a student from writing an entire dissertation by having Chat CPT create the content. Teaching our students and how they resource information is going to look very different. I have been told, beware, it’s not perfect. If you plan to do your next power point presentation, be sure to review, for some reason chat can’t perfect hands-on people. Kind of an odd flaw but I’m sure it will get worked out. With technology like this it will take some time to discover what all it can do and not do for our lives.

    Chat GPT offers intel from recipes to financial analysis. The technology uses artificial intelligence with software such as chatbot you get Chat GPT. There are other platforms however Chat GPT seems to be the most advanced and popular currently. The platform even does social media. Simply put a topic in the search such as, “create a post for social media on the 2023 Chamber’s Food Truck Rally on May 13.” and Chat GPT creates this:

    Attention foodies! 🍔🍟🍦

    Join us at Little Miami River Chamber Alliance’s 2023 Food Truck Rally on May 13th! 🎉

    Bring your appetite and indulge in delicious eats from a variety of food trucks serving up everything from BBQ to tacos, pizza to ice cream. 🍕🌮🍦

    This is a family-friendly event with plenty of activities for all ages, including live music, games, and more. 🎶🎲

    Don’t miss out on this tasty and fun-filled event! Mark your calendars and invite your friends and family. See you there! 🍴😋 #LMRCARally2023 #FoodTruckFrenzy #EatLocal

    All this information is correct fortunately, but you must review the information. I love the emoji’s and that it feels like there is excitement behind the post. Pretty cool!

    The link to try this out is https://chat.openai.com/ I simply created a trial. I hope you enjoy the new technology, it’s amazing.

    Stay tuned for a Lunch and Learn from our chamber later in the year on the topic. We can’t wait to share all that Chat GPT, and other platforms can offer to help your business.

  • Ohio lawmakers consider bill simplifying how businesses calculate taxes for remote workers

    Ohio lawmakers consider bill simplifying how businesses calculate taxes for remote workers

    Ohio lawmakers are considering a measure that could allow business owners to shift their tax burden for remote workers. Proponents of the idea argue it’s a way to simplify tax filing. But it could also make it easier for businesses to reduce their tax burden.

    Current system and changes

    State law allows municipalities to levy income taxes on businesses operating within city limits. Businesses determine how much they owe through a formula weighing payroll, sales and property.

    But remote work has thrown a wrench into that calculation. The sales and payroll that businesses previously attributed to one office could now be spread over as many cities as they have employees. Ohio Chamber of Commerce general counsel Tony Long explained that presents an administrative nightmare for small businesses.

    “Employers would need to track remote work locations of employees determine if the employee was using company property and if sales were generated from that remote location,” he said, adding employers would “potentially face filing requirements to municipalities that they do not conduct business in or have property located in but for the remote worker.”

    Long and others noted the potential expense of filing those returns could exceed the amount of tax they owe. To address the problem, businesses could apply their remote workers to a “qualifying reporting location” for the purposes of calculating taxes.

    It’s similar to emergency changes made early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses calculated taxes as if workers kept showing up in person even if they actually clocked in from their couch. The current bill, however, gives businesses the ability to change that reporting location at will.

    Importantly, the changes only apply to business income tax — not the payroll tax that makes up the biggest share of many city’s local revenues. Still, according to proponents, business income tax makes up roughly 15% of overall tax base.

    Potential pitfalls

    Rep. Sean Brennan, D-Parma, was quick to zero in on the potential local impact. A former city councilman, he pressed Greg Saul from the Ohio Society of CPAs about the possibility of companies using the measure to “disproportionately decrease their tax burden.”

    Saul insisted the intent is to be “revenue neutral,” and the law wouldn’t create new avenues for tax avoidance.

    “If that was the business’s goal, I would think that that mechanism is available to them under current law,” Saul argued. “This is really just trying to situs the net profits to a location that the business is at.”

    Saul noted townships don’t charge a municipal income tax and businesses could always move out of state. Picking up stakes and moving, after all, is time-honored if cumbersome means of seeking lower taxes.

    But if businesses can easily alter an employee’s reporting location by simply changing an election on their tax forms, it’s easy to imagine companies working the angles. Some might go abatement shopping, jumping from one city to another. Others might “shift” workers to that warehouse just outside of town instead of their offices on main street.

    Saul argued the measure has a “good faith” clause to avert those moves, but enforcement sounded a bit fuzzy.

    “There’s a three-factor formula of how they can choose the remote work location, but the last one is (it) requires the employer to act in good faith when designating a reporting location,” Saul said. “Any city that is concerned about the location can challenge an employer on that point.”

    Under the bill, companies should determine reporting location first by the place of business where an employee typically works. If there isn’t one — for instance, because they work from home — the company should next look to the place where their supervisor reports. But if the supervisor isn’t coming into the office either, the company has its pick of locations so long as it makes the designation in “good faith.”

  • Paws for Miles Joins Cassie Mattia’s Table of Discussions

    Paws for Miles Joins Cassie Mattia’s Table of Discussions

    “Where we go Miles for paws big and small”

    by Cassie Mattia

    Loveland, Ohio – Spring is one of my favorite seasons for many reasons, one of those reasons being that National Dog Appreciation is recognized and celebrated! With 3.3 million dogs entering into shelters and 670,000 dogs being euthanized every year, our furry friends need our support more than ever. With that in mind, I looked all over Loveland and finally found Paws for Miles founders Tonya and Jennifer, two of the most respected dog adoption and foster advocates in Ohio! Paws for Miles is a Loveland foster-based rescue dedicated to helping dogs of all breeds, ages, colors, health, physical abilities, temperaments, and habits. At Paws for Miles all dogs are housed in foster homes where they are cared for, socialized, and vetted.

    “Saving one dog won’t save the world, but surely the world will change for that one dog”

    Paws for Miles began with one inspirational fur baby; Miles. Tonya and Jennifer were first introduced to Miles after discovering his previous owner had beaten and shot him. Both Tonya and Jennifer did everything they possibly could to ensure that Miles had a fighting chance, but the medical expenses became overwhelming. Luckily, Tonya and Jennifer were flooded with donations after the community heard about Miles and his condition. Sadly, Miles died from his injuries, but his legacy would live on through the donations that people gave to help him to start what is now called, “Paws for Miles.” Through the continued efforts by the Paws for Miles team, many dogs have been saved from terrible environments and given “new leases on life” with loving people. This is what Tonya and Jennifer refer to as “Happy Tails,” meaning dogs who have left their old lives behind for new forever homes.

    This is Marley. The first photo shows the day Marley was pulled from a kill shelter in Kentucky. Marley was to be euthanized that day. The two following photos show Marley once he met the “Paws for Miles” team!

     

    This is Stella. She was at a shelter being untreated for mange. Many rescues passed her up due to the medical expense. As soon as Tonya and Jennifer saw her, they pulled her. The first three photos show Stella right after being rescued. The bottom two photos show Stella happy and on a road to recovery after being saved by “Paws for Miles!”

     

    This is Callie. She gave birth in a shelter and was terribly neglected when “Paws for Miles” saved her and her puppies from euthanasia. “Callie is a pit mix which you are aware has such a bad reputation and this girl is the best ever,” said Tonya. The first two photos show Callie and her puppies before being saved from neglect. The following two photos show Callie after being rescued.

     

    Callie and I bonded immediately in the Loveland Magazine recording studio.
    Courage during his initial rescue

    In my new Table of Discussions episode, you will see Callie, a beautiful and well-behaved Pitbull/Husky mix, and Angel, a brand new Doodle/Collie puppy, on camera while Jennifer and Tonya talk about how Paws for Miles got started and tell both “Courage” and “Miles” stories. During the interview, you will learn more about the dangerous dogs list, how you can foster or adopt a dog from Paws for Miles, and how you can donate or volunteer your time to Paw for Miles. You will also get a sneak peek at five Paws for Miles fur babies that are ready for their permanent homes!  Are you ready to learn more about how you can show some love to the doggies?! Tune in below to my National Dog Appreciation Table of Discussions episode featuring Tonya, Jennifer, Callie, and Angel!

  • In GOP flip, August special election will return

    In GOP flip, August special election will return

    Bill, along with SJR 2 constitutional amendment bill, directly impact abortion rights ballot initiative

    BY:  – Ohio Capital Journal

    Less than half a year after proclaiming August elections to be too expensive for the turnout they attract, the Senate Republican majority expanded the use of a special election this year, complete with $20 million in funding.

    “This is legislative whiplash, and we do it really well here in Columbus,” said state Sen. Kent Smith, D-Euclid.

    In a mostly party-line vote, Senate Bill 92 was passed Wednesday by the body. The only Republican to vote against SB 92 was state Sen. Nathan Manning, R-North Ridgeville.

    The vote came immediately after the state senate also passed an increase in the threshold for passing a constitutional amendment from 50% to 60% along party lines.

    The threshold bill, SJR 2, is a companion bill to HJR 1, which has been making its way through the Ohio House, but has yet to come up for a floor vote. The House resolution passed its committee after three hours of testimony on Wednesday, most of which spoke in opposition to the bill.

    Both bills could lead to a ballot measure where voters would approve or deny a constitutional amendment to raise that threshold.

    With the approval of SB 92, August special elections will now be held “for consideration of a General Assembly proposed constitutional amendment,” to fill a congressional vacancy or hold a special primary for congressional party candidates.

    The bill also appropriates $20 million to conduct “a one-time August special election on August 8, 2023,” a funding influx made while the bill was in committee.

    That August election would be to send a constitutional voter threshold to the ballot for voters to approve an legislature-initiated amendment to raise the threshold from 50% to 60%.

    Republicans pushed back on comparisons between previous August elections, including last year’s that saw an abysmal 8% turnout, with the argument that this time around, voters will care.

    “With this being a bonafide, statewide question, and with it being an important question … I would say the turnout is going to be markedly higher in this August election,” McColley told his colleagues on the Senate floor.

    The legislative measures seem to be direct hits at a potential constitutional amendment that would codify abortion rights if it makes it to the ballot box and is approved by voters in November. Abortion rights advocates are currently collecting the needed signatures. State law currently requires more than 400,000 in 44 of the 88 states.

    One of the pro-abortion rights groups helping with the ballot measure, Pro-Choice Ohio, called the passage of SB 92 “both expected and incredibly disappointing” in a post on Twitter.

    Last year, after redistricting confusion rocked the legislature, Republicans all-but eliminated the August election in a move that they said would save the state money and get rid of an unneeded annual election date that historically had low voter turnout.

    In August of last year, the special primary election included statehouse races because the redistricting maps were rejected by the Ohio Supreme Court before they could be included in the May election. A U.S. District Court then intervened in the legal snarl that swept up the redistricting process, and allowed the state to use a map previously deemed unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court as the map for the August primary.

    That map is still in effect currently.

    Speaking in opposition for SB 92, state Sen. William DeMora, D-Columbus, quoted Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose who spoke in support of reducing August special election usage last year, when he said they “aren’t good for taxpayers, election officials, voters or the civic health of our state.”

    “(SB 92) is so bad that (LaRose) Secretary LaRose couldn’t even find the time to come and testify about it in committee,” DeMora said.

    State Sen. Theresa Gavarone, R-Bowling Green, said claims that the August special elections were eliminated last year was an exaggerated claim.

    “We’re not reinventing the wheel on this legislation,” Gavarone said, pointing out that certain occasions allowed for an August special election.

    SB 92 now moves to the House for consideration.

    Record Store Day in Loveland, Ohio at Plaid Room Records this Saturday

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]LOVELAND, OHIO – Record Store Day will happen in Historic Downtown at Plaid Room Records the Saturday, April 22 from 8 A until 8 P. Plaid Room is located at 122 West Loveland Avenue.

    Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently-owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today, Record Store Day is celebrated at independently-owned brick-and-mortar record stores around the world.

    This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role they play in their communities. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, DJs spinning records, and on and on. In 2008 a small list of titles was released on Record Store Day and that list has grown to include artists and labels both large and small, in every genre and price point. For several years, 60% or more of the Record Store Day Official Release List came from independent labels and distributors. The list continues to include a wide range of artists, covering the diverse taste of record stores and their customers.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tJTJGcGx1Z2lucyUyRnZpZGVvLnBocCUzRmhlaWdodCUzRDQ3NiUyNmhyZWYlM0RodHRwcyUyNTNBJTI1MkYlMjUyRnd3dy5mYWNlYm9vay5jb20lMjUyRnBsYWlkcm9vbXJlY29yZHMlMjUyRnZpZGVvcyUyNTJGOTQxMjAwMzgzNzMyNDI0JTI1MkYlMjZzaG93X3RleHQlM0RmYWxzZSUyNndpZHRoJTNEMjY3JTI2dCUzRDAlMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjI2NyUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjQ3NiUyMiUyMHN0eWxlJTNEJTIyYm9yZGVyJTNBbm9uZSUzQm92ZXJmbG93JTNBaGlkZGVuJTIyJTIwc2Nyb2xsaW5nJTNEJTIybm8lMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0QlMjJ0cnVlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3clM0QlMjJhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUzQiUyMHdlYi1zaGFyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93RnVsbFNjcmVlbiUzRCUyMnRydWUlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZpZnJhbWUlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]
