Assembly takes up property taxpayer protection act Tuesday
Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch announced today that the Assembly will take up the Republican's "property taxpayer protection act" during a floor session on Tuesday.
The package that would break out K-12 funding, levy limits and shared revenue from the rest of the budget.
"Department of Public Instruction Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster recently
announced that if legislation is not passed setting the level of state aid for local schools by September 28th, property taxes will increase significantly over the next two years," said Huebsch in a press release. "While the conference committee will continue working to finalize the rest of 2007-09 state budget, the Assembly will act immediately and vote on items to provide local schools and local units of government the state aid necessary to provide a quality education, needed services and to ensure local property taxpayers will be protected."
