Reducing New York's Reliance on the School Property Tax.

Strauss, Robert P.

Journal of Education Finance, v21 n1 p123-64 Sum 1995

Summarizes arguments for and against replacing the local school property tax by a local school income tax. Explores the empirical effects of such policies for New York State. Using a 3% income tax and refashioning state aid to a foundation level of $8,068 per pupil would not require substantial new state revenues. (38 footnotes) (MLH)
