The property tax elimination fallacy
City and State By: CARL A. MARRARA FEB 9, 2017 AT 6:19 AMCarl A. Marrara is the vice president of government affairs for the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association
I would like to focus on the most
important fact about the “property tax elimination” bill being proposed in
Harrisburg: Senate Bill 76 and House Bill 76 do not eliminate property
taxes. The legislation only attempts to eliminate school property
taxes – maybe, eventually, in exchange for a 40 percent hike in the state
personal income tax and a steeper, broader sales tax – meaning Pennsylvanians
will now have to pay tax on most food, clothing and services such as legal
fees, dry cleaning, childcare and much more.
Pennsylvanians will face a higher overall tax burden while still paying
property taxes. Counties and municipalities also assess property taxes, which
comprise 31 percent of all property tax collections; these taxes would remain.
Moreover, school property taxes would not be eliminated entirely in most
districts. School property taxes would continue to be collected until all local
school debt is paid in full – leaving property taxes in effect in some school
districts for the indeterminate future while those residents would also pay the
higher state income tax and the higher, broader sales tax. Currently, 98 percent of school districts
carry debt, meaning only 10 out of 500 of them could immediately eliminate
school property taxes under the new law.
School Funding Advocate Praises Budget
Plans
Sanatoga Post by Andrea Sears, Public News Service for The Post PublicationsHARRISBURG PA – Gov. Tom Wolf’s budget 2017 Pennsylvania state budget, unveiled Tuesday (Feb. 7, 2017), is balanced through cuts and consolidations. The $32.3 billion spending plan would attack looming budget deficits with more than two-billion dollars in cuts and efficiency measures. But it also calls for increased education funding. Deborah Gordon Klehr, director of the Education Law Center, praised the proposed $75 million increase in early childhood education, and extra funding for early intervention, as “crucial investments.” Although spending increases for grades K-through-12 are appreciated, she added, they fall short of what’s needed. “The governor’s proposed increase of $100 million in basic education, and $25 million in special education funding, will not be enough to allow schools to close long-standing resource gaps,” Klehr noted. Closing those, she added, would require an extra state investment of almost $3 billion over time. Klehr reported Pennsylvania ranks 46th in the nation for state share of education funding, and still has the largest difference in funding between wealthy and poor school districts. “Taking all of that into consideration, we’re hopeful we can work with the governor and the General Assembly to ensure that the budget gets us closer to closing that gap,” she explained.
York
Daily Record Opinion by Kristin Phillips-Hill 12:39 p.m. ET Feb. 9, 2017
State Rep. Kristin Phillips-Hill
is a Republican from York Township.
Gov. Tom Wolf wrote the headline
for his budget address a few weeks ago when he
decided not to pursue broad-based tax increases. The hard-working taxpayers of
Pennsylvania have themselves to thank for the choice he made. Members of the General Assembly heard loud
and clear from constituents when the governor showed his appetite for taxes
during his two prior budget speeches. Tuesday’s address was a welcome change
from previous years. With an estimated $3 billion structural deficit, the
governor is taking a different tack, one clamored for by House Republicans, and
finally acknowledging the fiscal realities we face. While his proposal provides a better starting
point than the first two years of his administration, one constant – increased
overall spending – remains. His $32.34 billion proposal includes tax hikes and
exceeds the rate of inflation. The governor is again asking more of the
Pennsylvania taxpayer before addressing some shortcomings in Harrisburg.
“In the contest for students, one of the
most cost-effective moves for public school districts is to expand offerings in
online learning. According to Harner, Quakertown has to pay about $12,000 for a
student who leaves for a cyber-charter, yet the district can teach that same
child online for about $3,000.”
Public schools step up fight to win back
charter students
Inquirer by Kathy Boccella, Staff Writer @Kathy_Boccella | kboccella@phillynews.com Updated: FEBRUARY 12, 2017 —
6:08 AM EST
When Quakertown Community School
Superintendent Bill Harner realized his district was shelling out $250,000 a
year in tuition reimbursements for 17 students studying dance at a performing
arts charter in nearby Allentown, he came up with a battle plan. The Upper Bucks district, he decided, would
beat the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts at its own game. “We will have a brand-new dance studio,"
said Harner, who has counted more than 20 applicants for a program that, he
vows, will put the district "on the map for dance." And he isn't
finished. To enhance the drama program, a “black box” theater, a bare-bones
performance space, is being built. Declared Harner: “We love competition.” Each
year, Quakertown Community spends about $2 million on students who choose
to attend charters rather than their public schools. As tuition payments
to charters bite ever deeper into the budgets of virtually every district in
the region, some are beginning aggressive campaigns to win kids back. Their
strategies range from direct-mail marketing, to boisterous “back-to-school”
rallies with bouncy castles, to pricey new programs such as all-day
kindergarten.
Feinberg said he started paying
attention to DeVos long before she emerged nationally as President Donald
Trump’s choice for education secretary. The U.S. Senate narrowly confirmed her
this week, with Vice President Mike Pence casting the decisive tie-breaking
vote, after a contentious round of hearings.
Feinberg noted DeVos' generous donations to political candidates who
support school choice. The American
Federation for Children, of which she is a former chairwoman, has made
contributions to school choice PACs in Pennsylvania.
DeVos spurs hope, fear over possible charter school growth in
Pennsylvania
Meadville Tribune By John
Finnerty CNHI News Service February 11, 2017
HARRISBURG — More Pennsylvanians
already attend charter schools than students in most other states. With Betsy
DeVos leading the U.S. Department of Education, school choice proponents hope — and
critics fear — their numbers will rise. DeVos is an advocate for, and generous donor
to, school choice causes. Her home state of Michigan is one of eight with more
charter schools than Pennsylvania. Lawrence
Feinberg, a longtime school board member in Delaware County, said at a minimum
DeVos can use the bully pulpit of her new post to encourage states to develop
rules more friendly to charters. That
worries him. While charter schools
themselves must be nonprofit, Pennsylvania law allows them to hire for-profit
management companies. It's hard to tell how those companies spend money, how
much goes to education and how much money goes into the pockets of executives. Betsy is fine with that,” Feinberg said. “I
see education as a public good — not as something to wring money out
of."
Local
educators skeptical of Trump’s pick for secretary
Local educators unsure
of new secretary
Observer Reporter By Gideon Bradshaw February 10, 2017
Some local public education
officials are skeptical of the country’s new education secretary.
Betsy DeVos was confirmed Tuesday
by the Senate despite two GOP lawmakers – amid widespread criticism from
education advocates and other activists – siding with Democrats in opposing the
appointment. DeVos, a billionaire
political donor to Republicans, is a leading supporter of privately run charter
schools and voucher programs that allow private schools to receive public
funding. Carmichaels Area Superintendent
John Menhart said he will take a “wait-and-see” approach to DeVos and her
plans. He added cyberschool options are more prevalent in urban school
districts as compared to his rural district in the eastern part of Greene
County. “How much money is it going to
cost us?” Menhart said, adding charter schools – which a public school district
must reimburse for students attending – are not as prevalent in the eastern
Greene County school district as in Pittsburgh.
Menhart said some students with truancy issues leave their district to
attend cyberclasses, with most eventually returning and, in some cases,
dropping out of school.
Blogger comment: PLANCON provides
funding for public school construction for buildings that are owned by the
public. Let’s hope that PLANCON doesn’t
turn into another vehicle for public funds being used to enrich charter school private management company owners.

At Meredith, a kindergarten lottery stirs
worries - and larger issues
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham, Staff Writer @newskag | kgraham@phillynews.com Updated: FEBRUARY 12, 2017 — 5:00 AM
EST
In the dead of winter, in the
middle of the night, parents lined up last year to assure
their kindergarteners would have a seat at Meredith Elementary, the
well-regarded, increasingly crowded public school at 5th and Fitzwater. To avoid a repeat of that scene and its
associated concerns, the Philadelphia School District will switch later this
month to a kindergarten lottery for Meredith, prompting panic - and some
controversy - in a neighborhood where many paid hefty premiums to buy or rent
for the express purpose of sending their children to that school. It’s a thorny situation, involving issues of
school capacity and parents’ wishes, of equity and of who belongs at the
school. And it’s one that is likely to play out often in the next decade, as
more families choose to stay in the city and send their children to public
schools. “A lot of this is getting
attention at Meredith because Meredith is one of the best public schools in the
city,” said Joan Maya Mazelis, a Meredith parent and sociologist. “But
this is not a Meredith problem. It’s a citywide issue.”
Erie schools start waiting game on funding
GoErie By Ed Palattella ed.palattella@timesnews.com
February 12, 2017
The Erie School District has
entered another season of extreme uncertainty.
As it did a year ago, the
district is unsure whether it will need to make massive cuts, starting July 1,
to avoid a multimillion-dollar budget deficit.
The district was hoping to get aid — or at least get a sense of what
that aid might be — from the proposed 2017-18 state budget that Gov. Tom Wolf
presented on Tuesday. With Wolf's
proposal silent on specific relief, the district must plan for the 2017-18
school year while dealing with a series of questions. Will budget negotiations in Harrisburg,
between the Democrat Wolf and the GOP-controlled General Assembly, yield
additional annual funding? If so, will
that amount approach the $31.8 million that the school district has requested
in its state-mandated report to the state Department of Education?
Former senator Jane Earll lobbying for
Erie School District
GoErie By Ed Palattella February 12,
2017The Erie School District has a familiar person making its case for additional state funding in Harrisburg. Jane Earll, the former state senator from Erie, is lobbying on the district's behalf.
Earll works for RooneyNovak Group
LLC, a Harrisburg-based government-relations firm that started representing the
Erie School District in November for $6,500 a month for 13 months, ending Dec.
31, according to district records. The district can end the contract with a
30-day notice. The School Board approved the hiring under the condition that
the district use no tax revenue to pay RooneyNovak, according to board records.
The district is using grant money, Erie schools Superintendent Jay Badams said.
The Erie School District's hiring of a lobbying firm is not new. The district a
year ago hired another Harrisburg government-relations firm, Long, Nyquist and
Associates, for a 10-month contract at $6,500 a month. That contract — which
Badams also said was funded with grant money — started in March and ended Nov.
30.
TIMES-TRIBUNE EDITORIAL BOARD / PUBLISHED: FEBRUARY 12, 2017
Gov. Tom Wolf could have had the Scranton School District in mind
when he proposed a state budget last week calling for a $50 million reduction
in student busing subsidies. The budget would still provide virtually $500
million for student transportation, but Mr. Wolf said funding should be reduced
because of falling fuel prices and fewer students riding buses. Budget
Secretary Randy Albright said the reduction will provide incentives to reward
efficiency and boost competition and that school districts should be required
to put bus contracts out to bid. The Scranton School Board in 2016 violated
internal bidding policy to award a four-year busing contract extension to
DeNaples Transportation. School officials praised the DeNaples service, but the
absence of transparency about the extension created doubt about its propriety. Scranton’s
contract extension blunder became more apparent when state Auditor General
Eugene DePasquale reported last spring that taxpayers in 19 districts,
including Scranton, Dunmore and Valley View, paid $55 million more for busing
services than the state reimbursement formula covered because they failed to
solicit bids for busing contracts. Dunmore sought bidding for its busing pact
in 2015 after a state audit.

I'm going ask you, this morning, to consider the case of U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.
During the presidential campaign,
when he faced a challenge from Democrat Katie McGinty, Toomey remained
admirably independent. He criticized
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, withheld his
endorsement and said he'd have to see clear and convincing evidence before he
could consider voting for the tangerine-coiffed real estate mogul. Then, on Election Day, with his
victory over McGinty seemingly assured, Toomey cast
his independence to the wind and announced just a couple of hours before
the polls closed that he'd fallen into line for his party's nominee.
Betsy
DeVos Made Me Want To Run For School Board
NPR by ANYA KAMENETZ February
12, 20176:41 AM ET
Early one morning, the
week before Betsy
DeVos' confirmation as education secretary, 23-year-old Allison Kruk was
dropping her boyfriend off at the Philadelphia airport when she decided to
swing by the office of her United States senator and give him a piece of her
mind. Kruk was a Hillary Clinton supporter,
and the nomination of DeVos, "just felt like a low blow," she says.
"I had been calling and emailing and writing letters about how I thought
she was incredibly incompetent, regardless of your position on school
choice." Kruk spent two and a half
hours in the office of Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., before she was finally
escorted out by security, but not without an official audience scheduled on the
Monday before the vote. Over the
weekend, she collected 11,000 signatures on a petition from educators all over
the state, plus letters from parents and teachers, all of which she
hand-delivered. When Toomey nevertheless
cast his vote for DeVos, Kruk's reaction was immediate: She decided to run for
school board.

Prominent DeVos critics urge protesters:
Don’t block her way into public schools. She needs to see them.
Washington Post Answer Sheet
Blog By Valerie
Strauss February 10 at 5:33 PM
With
dozens of protesters standing at the front of Jefferson Academy in Washington,
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos tried to enter a side door of the school but
was blocked Friday by a few people who held signs and shouted, “Shame, shame.” Along with the protesters outside, some staff
members at Jefferson were none too happy about the DeVos visit, wearing black
in protest and saying they didn’t want their students used as a photo
opportunity for the controversial secretary.
DeVos was confirmed Tuesday in the Senate after Mike Pence became the
first vice president ever to break a tie for a Cabinet nominee. She is the most
polarizing education secretary in history because of the deep divide in
philosophy about public education between her supporters and her critics. Her
backers see her as a champion of school choice and alternatives to traditional
public schools, while opponents say her decades of advocacy work show that she
wants to privatize the public education system.
After her entrance to Jefferson was blocked — she did eventually make it
in another way — some public figures who have been among her biggest critics
urged that she be let into public schools. Why? Because they say DeVos needs to
see how they work.
The
Hill by BY JONATHAN PELTO, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 02/10/17 03:20 PM EST 457
To Betsy DeVos, school choice is
not simply the inherent right that every parent has to choose their child’s
educational setting, it is all about requiring taxpayers to pick up the tab for
that parent’s private individual choice, regardless of whether the parent
chooses a public school, a charter school, a nonprofit private school, a
religious school or even a fly-by-night online
virtual school. Historically, the United States has devoted
itself to a comprehensive system of public schools, locally controlled and
funded by public resources. Parents who didn’t want their children to attend
the public schools, could, of course, pay for them to go to a private school. But DeVos and her associates in the corporate
education reform movement have been working hard to undermine that historic
concept and replace it with one in which public funds are used to
subsidize whatever “choice” a parent makes for their child.

Everyone knows U.S. public
schools are failing. Just like everyone
knows you should never wake sleepwalkers, bulls hate red and Napoleon was
short. Wrong on all counts. Waking sleepwalkers will cause them no
harm – in fact, they’re more likely to harm themselves while sleepwalking.
Bulls are colorblind; they’re attracted to movement. And Napoleon was 5’7”,
which was above average height for Frenchman during his lifetime. So why do we believe that American public
schools are doing such a terrible job? Because
far-right policymakers have convinced us all that it’s true. It’s not.
Let me repeat that in no uncertain terms – America’s public schools are NOT failing. They are among the best in the world. Really!
“In other words, more than 9 out of 10
House races were landslides where the campaign was a foregone conclusion before
ballots were even cast. In 2016, there were no truly competitive Congressional
races in 42 of the 50 states. That is not healthy for a system of government
that, at its core, is defined by political competition. Gerrymandering, in a word, is why American
democracy is broken.”
Gerrymandering is the biggest obstacle to
genuine democracy in the United States. So why is no one protesting?
Washington Post By Brian
Klaas February 10Brian Klaas is a Fellow in Comparative Politics at the London School of Economics and author of The Despot’s Accomplice: How the West is Aiding & Abetting the Decline of Democracy.
There is an enormous paradox at the heart of American democracy. Congress is deeply and stubbornly unpopular. On average, between 10 and 15 percent of Americans approve of Congress – on a par with public support for traffic jams and cockroaches. And yet, in the 2016 election, only eight incumbents – eight out of a body of 435 representatives – were defeated at the polls. If there is one silver bullet that could fix American democracy, it’s getting rid of gerrymandering – the now commonplace practice of drawing electoral districts in a distorted way for partisan gain. It’s also one of a dwindling number of issues that principled citizens – Democrat and Republican – should be able to agree on. Indeed, polls confirm that an overwhelming majority of Americans of all stripes oppose gerrymandering. In the 2016 elections for the House of Representatives, the average electoral margin of victory was 37.1 percent. That’s a figure you’d expect from North Korea, Russia or Zimbabwe – not the United States. But the shocking reality is that the typical race ended with a Democrat or a Republican winning nearly 70 percent of the vote, while their challenger won just 30 percent. Last year, only 17 seats out of 435 races were decided by a margin of 5 percent or less. Just 33 seats in total were decided by a margin of 10 percent or less.
