Florida School Amendment No 1 Debate Grows On Plan
Proponents push a plan to let counties borrow from the motor vehicle license fund to fund new or expanded schools in Florida. The proposal would advance capital via state revenue notes for up to 20 years, with 75 percent to counties and 25 percent retained for normal increases, and would rely on instruction units to determine funding. Lake County would receive about 2.15 million to start building after the new year, under current units and capi tal plans, with concerns about earmarking and future limits.
