Statewide sales tax plan unsettles Aiken educators
A Senate panel proposes raising the sales tax by two cents to fund public schools and phase out property taxes on homes and vehicles. Local officials warn loss of home rule and control, while supporters say a state funded system could stabilize school funding though details remain unsettled. Local boards fear reduced budgeting power and uneven impacts across districts.
