A bill imposes a 1.25 percent vendor excise tax and a 1 to 2 percent county income tax with half earmarked for education and half for the county general fund. It proposes up to 15 regional service centers and mandatory vocational programs, plus an administration bill to unify districts under state parity. A council would pool education funds for district distribution and base the per pupil cost on a $602 state average.
