The increases hinge on renewing the 20-mill school levy, $184 annually per 100000 home, expected to yield $258 million in 2004. The plan adds $29 million in 2004 and grows with the next two years, but gains are erased if the levy lapses. The Senate already approved a two-year levy. the House has not acted, as negotiations continue.
