Jefferson City Missouri AP senator John Schneider described a plan for a statewide education tax as needing drastic tax-structure changes to ensure equal opportunities. The proposal would set a statewide rate, distribute revenue by student enrollment, and reserve funds for vocational education and the handicapped, with local bonded debt unaffected.
