Property Tax Freeze and School Funds
Here’s a common case of cause-and-effect…
Marion County - This taxing time is giving Marion County schools a costly economics lesson. Delays and confusion over property taxes has them short on cash and looking to borrow millions of dollars.
Freezing property taxes and delaying payment deadlines is creating a financial upheaval for Marion County’s Schools. Tax money needed to pay teachers, operating costs and construction bills, already weeks late, will arrive even later. It will total tens of millions of dollars less than schools counted on.
While no one likes tax increases, do you think that tax increases would help student performance? And do you think that there should be restrictions on the use of the additional funds?
