Ohio state taxes

I have lived and filed in Ohio the last 10 years (since

1997). Since 2000 I have owned a house (and claimed the interest). It appears my 1040 federal return is getting larger and larger (more than 2k in 2006 and more than 1.5k in 2005 after 6 months WITHOUT the mortgage deduction- we moved). We tend to owe the state of Ohio more each year (200 in 2006). Can someone explain to me what is happening with Ohio? Last year we owed Ohio $400 and we withheld an extra $30 from my wife's paycheck each month to try to make the state return a "0" tax owed. AGI for 2005 year was around 98k AGI for 2006 was around 103k

married filing jointly (65k and 44k salaries). I claim 7 federal exemptions on my paychecks (and we still get 2k back). We withhold extra state tax and still owe the state. I heard Ohio is third highest taxed state (behind CA and NY). Trying to understand scope of issue. Maybe it's the exemptions... maybe we just make too much money... any feedback is appreciated.
