Carlin’s plan to boost state aid by 30 million and allow eight to eighteen percent budget increases stalled 10-10 in the House Education Committee. Debate awaits, as opponents warn of higher property taxes and regressive sales tax ideas face political shifts.

It compares education levels, earnings, and family income, noting equal education with men, women earning about three-fifths of men’s pay, and women lifting family incomes out of poverty in many households.
