Mixed Data on Supermajority Tax States and School Spending
The report compares 13 supermajority tax states and 50 states showing mixed results. Nine pre-1996 supermajority states spent less per pupil in 1995-96, with Mississippi at 3951 and Iowa at 5481. Spending growth 1992-96 was higher in nine states than in 41 others, while 1995-98 growth favored the nine but four post-1996 gains lagged Iowa. John Gilliland defends Good for Iowa’s campaign.
