The long view on education spending
Reading the description of the March 23 education hearing in Montpelier, I was taken back to the 1990s when I was in the House of Representatives.
Then Hartford’s property tax was somewhere between $2-$3 per hundred of valuation. And Stowe and Dorset had a property tax of around 20 to 30 cents.
Here we go again with charging schools for wanting to educate the students. Having a cap on spending is bad enough, but charging extra for going above the cap makes no sense to me. But, that’s because I value education and think it helps graduates to find better paying jobs.
