“I have one question that never got answered in the education policy episode: how exactly did they secure the funding? Did Vermont continue to use property values/taxes to secure money for all schools in the state? In Washington, we went through a similar law suit. Property taxes went up sharply here in Seattle, but property wealth is only potential wealth. Property values have gone up sharply also, salaries broadly have not, and this is driving people in Seattle out of their homes. Education funding should be based more on available income relative to local cost of living, or net free cash flow per household. I would love to hear a follow up on this episode in Washington state and maybe include input from economists to find a model that could actually work fairly with clear and consistent rules. Please? Pretty please?!?”
