Capitol Taj Mahal bill aims to curb school costs
Capitol observers view a bipartisan Taj Mahal school bill as the first major 1979 measure for Gov. Milton J. Shapp to consider. It sets per pupil ceilings of 2800 for elementary, 4000 for middle, and 5000 for high schools, excludes Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and requires a public referendum if costs exceed limits. Proponents tout the referendum as giving taxpayers direct say in education spending. Opponents warn it may trigger failures and lower quality, but supporters argue it reins in costly projects and reflects fiscal restraint.
