Demos eye shift to cut school property taxes
Iowa Democrats push a 75 million shift of state aid to schools by 1993 to reduce local property taxes. The plan phases in from 81.5 percent funding in 1987 to 85 percent by 1993, while preserving the 5.40 per thousand levy and arguing the move relieves property tax burdens. The approach faces GOP criticism and questions about funding the relief.
