Voters urged to reject 5 mill school tax hike
A local editorial urges Hope School District 1-A voters to vote down a five mill increase this Saturday. It argues the reassessment program has stalled, the county assessment base has fallen, and local government and schools rely on diminished property values. The piece insists schools must resume reassessment to restore the tax base and curb state funds reliance.
