Dan O'Donnell: “Last year alone, school districts put 241 funding increases…”

“Because Act 10 has saved local school districts so much money, they haven't been forced to go to referendum as often as they otherwise would have. And school districts have gone to referendum a whole lot over the past 14 years. Last year alone, school districts put 241 funding increases on the ballot and voters passed 169 of them for a staggering $4.4 billion in new tax revenue. Dozens more school referenda will appear on ballots this spring. If this many school districts are raising taxes While their Act 10 savings are still in place, one shudders to think how often they'll demand more money in new referenda once the law is repealed.” (2:11:43–2:12:02)
