Educators Decry Tax Bill Crushing School Basics
In Columbus Ohio, educators call the $68 million tax program a crushing blow to the year old school foundation plan. The bill, approved 85 to 24 by the House, would allot about $22 million for school operation, far short of the $60 million professionals say they need. State Education Director E L Bowsher vows a last stand to secure more funds, while a separate measure allows districts to borrow against anticipated sales tax allocations. The House adjourns after praise for lawmakers Grant Ward and Creesy, with a plan for a skeleton session Monday and possible recall next Wednesday if Senate amendments pass.
