Westchester Opposes New Local Taxes for Education
The Westchester County Board of Supervisors opposes new non real estate taxes to fund public schools. A Public Education Research Bulletin report shows county per pupil yields from the 1947 tax plan vary widely, with Westchester at 40.71 and Ossining 1,065.95, highlighting unequal burdens. Debate centers on shifting education funding from state to counties, opposed by advocates who cite state jurisdiction over education.
