You need a 4. Federal government issues $$$ to property tax authority to cover income gap. The property tax authority needs that revenue now to pay their bills (teachers, sanitation, fire, EMT, police, etc), an easement won't cut it. They need a backstop before they can do that since all of those are critical or legally mandated services and municipalities run very lean.

- munk-a 6y agoSecuring that funding is going to be a hard sell when the Dept of Edu is really enthusiastic about scrapping the whole "public education" thing for charter schools since charter schools have an out to get around silly things like Brown v. BoE[1] and, more importantly to them, Engel v. Vitale[2]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v._Board_of_Education https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v._Board_of_Education 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_v._Vitale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_v._Vitale
