House OKs Education Bill With Uniform Local Effort
AUGUSTA AP The House passed 80 to 33 a composite education subsidies bill embracing uniform local effort and cutting some subsidies. The Senate rejected the bill, but agreed to drop penalties against small towns that do not join districts. An amendment may retain penalties for high school subsidies. Rep. Easton said the plan would require towns to raise taxes in proportion to value with the state paying the rest, with the rate set at $25 per thousand rather than $18.
