State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) reports an estimated 1,000 persons attended the May 7 rally for House Bill 1776, which would abolish the school property.
The rally was held in the Capitol Rotunda.
Taxpayers shared stories about how the school property tax is ruining their lives.
“It was clear from their stories that the school property tax does not work and must be replaced. House Bill 1776 would replace the school property tax with other state funding sources,” Cox said.
He noted that details about the bill, which is named the Property Tax Independence Act, can be found on his website.
House Bill 1776 is before the House Finance Committee, which will be holding a hearing on the legislation on May 21.
