more school taxes

[Carolyn Branagan]

OK, so miracles happen! I met with the Speaker, talked with the chair of my committee, some fiscal people who work here and others on the committee. Eventually we came out with a better solution. There was a motion to reconsider my amendment (the one that failed  yesterday) and it was approved. I was delighted. But there's more ......after a few other  advantageous changes, the Misc. Tax bill was up for final vote in committee. It was approved WITH my school amendment, the one that will lower taxes for school districts that met their Challenge for Change goal.  Now, on to the House floor Tuesday. Stay tuned. The game  isn't over.  What a great job this is!

Congratulations Carolyn!

I was a big proponent of Fletcher meeting the challenge for change requirements and I was glad when the school board met the challenge for next year's budget.

I appreciate that our town will be rewarded for our efforts and I hope it will encourage other towns to comply with similar requests in the future.

Thank you for your persistence, your efforts and congratulations on the outcome!
