House panel approves bold property tax relief plan
The House Ways and Means Committee backed a five year plan to roll back rates from 100 to 60 percent for residential and commercial property and raise the state share of education funding to 100 percent. A growth cap of 2 percent was proposed with annual reviews and 50 million dollars a year in local aid. Critics call it a tax shift.
