Would our states leaders support a plan that might be construed as a state income tax increase?
Lawmakers should understand that NJSBA’s policy constitutes a tax shift, not a tax increase. In addition, their constituents (voters) must make it clear that they will support the Legislature’s efforts to shift a portion of school revenues from the local property tax to the state income tax. Opinion polls have shown that New Jerseyans would support (1) a larger state role in paying for education and (2) higher state taxes in return for lower property taxes.
