When effects of Proposition 13 are taken as a whole, the amendment will have an insignificant overall effect on the nation's economy. The property tax cut will stimulate consumer spending somewhat and lead to a lower price level because property taxes are a part of the housing component of the consumer price index (CPI). These economic stimulants, however, will be balanced by necessary cutbacks in state and local spending that should depress the economy. More precisely, Proposition 13 will...

Since 1951, Federal impact aid payments under P.L. 81-874 have been made to local educational agencies (LEAs) for (1) the education of pupils residing with parents who live and/or work on federal property or have a parent in the uniformed services of the United States; and (2) for the loss of tax revenue attributable to the Federal Government's purchase of land. In fiscal year 1987, section 3 (education of pupils) payments were $663 million and section 2 (loss of tax revenue) payments were $22...

The author addresses the problem of the public's attitude toward the issues of educational finance and relates it to the attitude on government spending a a whole. From the results of tax and expenditure limitations on ballot measures in 1978 and 1979, he observes that there is no national movement to copy California's Proposition 13. Polls taken in 1978 to assess citizens' opinions on taxes, government, education, and the general state of the nation made clear that people wanted to cut...

Past studies have shown Louisiana taxpayers to be victims of gross inequities in the assessment of property with little or no effort being made at the state or local level to implement fair and equitable assessment practices. The 1974 constitution and subsequent statutory law provide an opportunity to correct many of the inequities now existing in property assessment. However, it is unlikely that there will be any semblance of equity unless (1) there is strong and effective supervision...

According to an initial study of finance equity in Georgia, the dominant cause of differences in resource indices among school districts was differences in teacher salaries. Building on two other studies in Milwaukee County (Wisconsin) and Florida that explored factors determining teacher salaries, the Georgia study was replicated, using complete 1988-89 data. In addition, the measure of revenue generating potential was simplified to include only the local property wealth per full-time pupil....

As deliberations begin on its 1993-94 fiscal budget, California is for the second year in a row facing the likelihood of a decline in revenues. Under the governor's budget proposal, funds for schools would, for the third year in a row, remain at the same level per student in Average Daily Attendance (ADA). The lingering recession in California and the loss of jobs have combined with tax changes to create large state budget shortfalls. These budget shortfalls have put increasing pressure on...

An estimated 13 million acres of New York State have been taken out of production agriculture since the early 1900s. While most of this land has remained idle and returned to its natural growth, that part that is being rapidly converted to urban uses is of immediate concern. These changes inevitably affect the quality of life in rural areas, impacting family lives, community service, and education. Urban development often absorbs prime agricultural lands in disproportionate amounts. It has an...

Public attitudes toward financing public education from state and federal sources, voucher systems, and value added taxes are analyzed using responses from the Gallup polls, 1969 to 1974. The results show that the public will not accept increases in local property taxes or increases in federal expenditures beyond present levels. Voucher systems and value added taxes were not favorably received. When local taxes are reduced, the public favored state aid to schools, but after 1972, when the...

Additionally, the Commission urges property tax...

Using the Serrano v.

This would be granted only if the states would raise and disburse the other 50 percent based on a per child rate. These amounts would be adjusted only for special educational needs on an "area...

Under power equalization, local school tax revenues would be supplemented with State aid in such a way that all school districts that levy the same local tax rate would receive from State and local sources combined the same total income per pupil. To accomplish this the State would supplement local tax collections in low wealth school districts and require high wealth school districts to pay part of their local tax collections into a State fund. The advantages and disvantages of this plan are...

Because Louisiana is facing financial difficulties, the impact of reductions in federal aid since 1980 has been severe. With a state economy dependent on gas, oil, and agriculture, Louisiana suffers when oil prices are low and farming costs are high. Reduced tax income for the state lowers state spending, forcing additional enterprises out of business. Louisiana is left with a shrinking tax base at a time when state and local support for education must be increased. The major source of income...

According to the court, the legislature is responsible for defining a basic education. The court also declared that...

The primary local funding source for school support has always been the property or "ad valorum" tax. State funds, determined for each district by the "foundation program" formula, supplement this tax. Local school boards, state legislatures, state constitutions, and the voters have the power to provide quality education. In many states, however, the power which might result from increased educational expenditures has been limited. This is especially true for the poor...
