Letter on school taxes and fair burden proposals
Vermont reader Albert Stevens is urged to read the school tax plan as fair, not a disparity. Sen. Herbert G. Ogden of Hartland argues for a 5 percent base of residents' taxable income to fund schooling, with state aid covering gaps and categorical costs. He criticizes wealth-based double standards and proposes direct linkage of personal income to school taxes, inviting further discussion and pamphlets from Windsor RFD 1.
