re: City of St. George - good or bad for the long term future of GBR area?

The City of St. George will not provide funding for a new school system - that will come from property taxes within the school district. The City of Central does not fund the Central Community School District; it is funded by property taxes collected within the school district. Central voters did approve additional property taxes to support the school system but the city of Central does not assess a property tax mileage, has not raised taxes since its incorporation and it has a budget surplus. St. George plans to use the same government model as Central.
