And we've seen what's actually happened.
The change in funding removed $27 million from our school corporation's local property tax levy in 2009. State revenue to replace it has never materialized and, even though projections for that state revenue were predicted to decline then and are even worse now meaning that more cuts are probably coming, the governor and some state representatives still insist on making the tax caps a part of Indiana's Constitution, which means they'll be much more difficult to repeal.
