Opposition to Reassessment and School Tax Bill in House
In the House yesterday Democratic delegate James B. Brashears introduced a bill to compel white taxpayers to fund white schools and colored taxpayers to fund colored schools. The measure allows county commissioners to levy extra tax if county school funds run short and directs funds to schools by race. Brashears argued for fairness, citing prior laws and past taxes. The bill excludes Baltimore City and was referred to Education. Discussions on reassessment and related measures followed.
