The Senate urged Congress to create a tax sharing plan to boost state and local funds via federal dollars. The measure, tied to a gaming lottery with a $100,000 top prize and multiple lesser prizes, would allocate 55 percent of gross lottery revenue to education. The plan aims to shift funds directly from federal revenues to states, with spending decisions left to state and local governments.
