Tax plan shifts school costs to state faces mixed reception
Commissioners Statser and Foerster push for state to assume all elementary and secondary education costs, contingent on federal welfare takeover. Analysts warn real estate tax elimination may not reduce overall tax burden, as state and federal funds still draw from taxpayers. Districts vary in aid, with proposed 1973 budget projecting 1444 billion for schools and 1896 billion for welfare. Nearby receipts show property owners could save hundreds depending on locale, while questions loom on state control, curriculum standardization, and building needs. The issue remains contentious as Vera North Hills and other districts assess millage and inequities.
