Wisconsin argues school aid formula meets equal protection
In response to a legal challenge, Wisconsin maintains its school aid formula supplements local property tax funding without violating equal protection. The state says the program uses a statewide guaranteed valuation of 47,900 per student and provides aid at a flat rate with special equalization for districts below the guarantee, arguing it ensures reasonable educational equality. The suit, filed for Thomas Bedard and northern residents, names Attorney General Robert Warren and others, citing unbalanced sharing benefiting areas like Wauwatosa. The state compares valuation ranges to Glidden Kohler and notes Wisconsin's 1 to 13 gap is comparable to or narrower than ranges in other states.

Tax withholding rise hits take home pay for many
Congress boosted the withholding rate to align tax with liability for the year starting 1972, reducing underwithholding but increasing overwithholding for middle income couples and those with large itemized deductions. An IRS form, Employees Withholding Exemption Certificate, helps workers adjust monthly withholding toward actual liability. The change, while providing about 1 billion dollars in current treasury use, shifts financial burden to some taxpayers earning 20 000 to 25 000 dollars with 4 000 to 5 000 in itemized deductions.
