Issue Position: Lower Property Taxes

Issue Position

The main driver of rising property taxes is our broken school finance system. Our state government and local school district used to split the cost of public schools down evenly, 50-50. But, over the last decade, the state government has dropped their share from half to barely 30%. Because the Legislature doesn't pay its fair share of school funding, local districts are left to pick up the tab, raising our property taxes year after year. I'll make sure the state government pays its fair share of school funding, meaning lower property taxes for all of us.
