Supremes hear Abbott argument again but with an attitude change
We’re not there yet, but the latest round of state Supreme Court arguments about dumping more money down the rat holes at Abbott school districts has taken a turn toward sanity. Can the concept of reality be far behind?
Once again the Education Law Center, a Newark-based outfit that hauls the state into court because it thinks not enough state money is being sent to the Abbotts, was facing the Supremes with a hollow argument, but this time there was a slight change in attitude from the bench.
Justices questioned whether the state’s economic situation is reason to hold off ordering more money for the 31 districts (out of some 600) that already get close to 60 percent of the state education budget. That’s a major reason your property taxes are so high. (Ingle, Daily Record)
