Tax reform fight over school aid bill stalls in Senate
The Senate debates a tax reform plan to funnel 624 million in extra state aid to local schools, including 1 million for ghetto districts. The plan would tax wealthy districts to support poorer ones and aim to cut roval property taxes by 200 million in year one though no self financing is provided. Arnett and Dixon Arhett push for raising the state's share of local education funding to 39 percent from about 33. Supporters of the Moretti-Resyan bill pressured Finance Committee members to switch votes, but the measure failed by one vote amid opposition from Howard Way, a Republican senator.
