This will be my first attempt
to become a newspaper reporter
and I want to assure the editor
that I have no objection to his
correcting, or leaving out of this
article, anything which in hi:
opinion, will be abnoxious or bor-
ing to his readers.
I came to Austin as your Rep-
resentative with a firm resolution
in my mind never to attempt to
become a newspaper columnist
because I know that is out of my
line, but since 1 have now been
here a month, (not long enough
to keep from still being confused
and amused), I do feel there is
legislation pending which some
of you will be interested in and
that there will perhaps be inci-
dents happening here in Austin
which you would like to hear
about.
For instance, I believe you will
be interested in what House Bill
No. 3, known as the Kilgore Bill,
NEWS FROM
would mean to you as tax payers.
This bill provides that in the
future, each local school district
should pay twenty-five per cent
(25%) of the total school founda-
tion program cost <! the immedi-
ate preceeding year. This pro-
vision will also cause the local
school districts of the State to
assume one-fourth of any increas-
ed cost in the toal foundation
program in the future. The State
would pay the other seventy-five
per cent. This means that each
local school district must con-
struct, maintain and pay for all
buildings, services, and equip-
ment, plus twenty-five per cent
of the foundation program, out
of local school taxes.
I am listing below, the effect
on each of the school districts of
Delta County of this increase for
the next school year. In the fu-
ture, this increase in taxes would
grow each year.
