Proposals include a $10 million annual nonpublic school appropriation, a 2 percent sales tax boost, a 2 percent corporate income tax rise, and creation of a local tax adjustment board to cap budget increases. A private education fund would reimburse up to $20 million for private and parochial instruction. Discussion paused until Whitcomb and lawmakers weigh potential effects.
