Amendment Of The Constitution Opposed By Fayette Farm Bureau
Calvin Kenney, president of the Fayette County Farm Bureau, said the 42 county farm bureaus voted to oppose the Better Schools Amendment. They argue counties already have levies, assessments should be equalized, revaluation should not be delayed, and tax increases would hurt small property owners on fixed incomes. Farmers support good schools but doubt the amendment guarantees them.
