Of the few remaining issues in Lake View...

After considering (1) the eight issues referenced as remaining and unresolved in recent reports in Lake View, along with (2) the interim report that was recently released and (3) legislation that has been enacted (or will be) this session -- especially regarding facilities, only one issue remains:

Local district property tax collections. A collection rate of 98 percent is assumed, but might not be accurate, to the cost of schools. Whether or not this issue hangs up litigation is and should be irrelevant to the legislature. HB1632 addressed it with a temporary resolution, but this is an item that deserves an in-depth interim study, which it will get.
