reasons for school tax should get an âfâ
travis r. mcgaha
The upcoming vote on a self-imposed tax hike, affectionately referred to on topix.com as The Parton Tax, could be more than a vote to boost to capital projects. This could be seen as a mandate for change. Jack Parton, Sevier County Director of Schools, has stated that to deal with overcrowding, we should be willing to give more money to the government. He has stated that this is needed strictly for capital projects to keep up with the influx of citizens. He points out that out of a $1 bill, after taxes, the charge would be $1.10. He has stated that this is needed to overcome the shortfall as a result of the change in BEP funding from the state. By taking out the emotional aspect of how he is viewed as a leader, we can see where his leadership choices may not be in the best interest of the citizens.
