that minimum foundation program could be reduced by letting localities tax industry. the locals need to be fully paying for their schools anyway
you mentioned prisons- where does that fall and how big is it? i was under the impression that after Health & MFP, the next-largest specific item was a very distant third

I agree the locals need to be paying for their schools---we need to eliminate ALL property exemptions while holding actual collections still for one year so the millages will adjust downward and then let the locals vote on taxes to fund their schools. (A lot of homeowners would actually see their taxes go down as the millages fall.)
