McFarland Pushes Localized School Tax Plan
Representative M. M. McFarland of Alpine Brewster County seeks a bill to change how state school taxes are collected and distributed. He proposes the county treasurer receive funds and keep them within the county, instead of sending money to the state and then rebating to counties. The plan would make each county the unit for school funding rather than the state.
