The Tax Man Cometh...

[phoenix]

still basic problem is the courts have ruled that all school districts must provide an addiquate level of education to all students in the state. the state approach is to tax donor towns( primarily towns with high valuation like lake towns) and give that money to so called poorer towns . unfortunately towns like Amherst are also getting that money . This is a state wide tax and pits one town against another. State needs to find a better way to raise this money whether by putting a sales tax or increasing some other revenue. Cutting education would cause the people who filed the lawsuit to go back to court . Bottom line is something must happen at the state level this year
