Could really help if the people of Lauderdale County would be willing....I know that nobody wants more taxes, but for a penny here and a penny there, it could help our kids tremendously!
I live in the Florence City area and I would be for that if it would directly go to education to help our schools. Another good way to help the schools is to buy a "Helping Schools" car tag. You get to choose which school you would like to help. They could tax liquor and tobacco products extra to help also in leu of taxing property or sales tax.
Both are excellent ideas, however, Lauderdale County is dry and I honestly dont know if that will ever change. The county sales tax for Lauderdale is 4 cents and has been for a long time if I am not mistaken. The money needs to go into the local boards budget to help keep teacher units in our systems. The biggest problem for many of our schools is overcrowded classrooms. Teachers cannot provide the type education our kids deserve when they have classes with 30+ kids.
Another idea is to have auctions and giant yard sales at a central location once a year to the cause. I'm sure that the Lauderdale folks has things they could donate to education and save our schools.
We don’t need higher taxes. If you want to help our kids, put people in office who can spend without overspending. There is enough money coming in. It’s just being used unwisely.
I don't live in Lauderdale Co. but I am opposed to ANY taxes more than what we are paying now. The people of Alabama Voted ; No lottery to support schools. Obviously they don't think we need more money for the school system. I say to heck with them. NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE SCHOOLS. Lets give the state what they want and deserve. Don't tax me to get it now.
