Tawes Aide Defends Tax Increase Amid School Aid Debate
An aide to Governor Tawes argued the proposed increases in state income tax financing are needed to fund expanded education aid. He challenged a delegate’s claim that the school aid formula could be funded without higher taxes, noting the plan costs about 16.2 million more than current levels, offset by existing 10 million state aid rise and a 6.2 million net increase. He cited use of state surplus and other revenues to cover the difference.
