House plan tabled, now Grooms II

The house proposal has been tabled, therefore, we are now on another proposal by Sen. Larry Grooms. Keep in mind that there will be winners and losers in all property tax reform proposals. When the homeowner is the winner, I’m all ears!

Below are the highlights:
All state funds go directly to local school districts then they fund state department as they see fit. Instead of local schools begging for money, the State Department would have to beg the districts for money.
