Lawrence school board advances budget and apartment tax rebate
The Lawrence school board on Monday advanced a district budget that cuts local property tax by 1.591 mills from 57.788 to 56.197 mills and approved a tax rebate linked to a proposed high dollar apartment building for Kansas University students. The owner of a $200000 home would see about $37 less in 2000 tax under the plan. The board set a hearing for August while local and county tax debates loom.
