House Bill 1776, which would require school districts to replace property taxes with either a sales tax or a personal income tax, is not dead yet.
State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129), who is the bill’s sponsor, says it has been advanced by House Finance Committee to the House Appropriations Committee, which is now doing an in-depth analysis of the bill.
Thank you Rep. Cox. It strikes one as being “socially unjust” to rent one’s house from a government to fund six-figure salary and benefits packages for assistant to assistant school administrations.
