*** Reply to note of 02/06/90 17:34 re equalization of local option overrides in New Mexico -- that can be either equalizing or disequalizing, depending on many factors, including whether there is a required tax effort. From your explanation, it sounds to me like it would be disequalizing in effect since richer districts are more likely to take advantage of the opportunity for "overrides." (at least that is what has happened in other states.) -- mary mckeown 5-5326

*** Reply to note of 02/07/90 13:03 Dewayne - having a substantial incentive to tax oneself means nothing if you do not have the money to pay the taxes with. There is a substantial body of literature both in the Journal of Education Finance and in Economics of Education Review on this topic, especially the equity considerations. -- mary mckeown 5-5326
