[Peace-discuss] taxes for school

[Bob Illyes]

I'm opposed to the local sales tax for education for two reasons:

1) I understand that the plan is to reduced property tax so that the sales 
tax is revenue neutral.

2) I also understand that the state will collect the tax and return it to 
us. The state, which seems to be bankrupt, is liable to just keep the tax 
by the mechanism of reducing other state funding to our schools, as they 
have done with the lottery money.

So unless I am wrong about this, we will end up with neither school funding 
nor property tax relief, but simply more money going to the state 
government, which seems to be a black hole with regard to money.
