State tax plan seeks to fund schools by indirect levies
Frank M. Peters, state legislator, announced a measure to have all public schools taken over and run by the state financed through indirect taxation. Direct tax funds would retire debt and fund local governments while returning surplus to the school fund. Peters estimates about five million dollars would return to schools. The proposal hinges on a yet unsettled indirect tax method and will be reintroduced when the legislature reconvenes.
