CONCORD — Associate Supreme Court Justice Patrick Donovan has refused to recuse himself from the appeal of the lower court decision the state’s administration of the Statewide Education Property Tax
A proposal to “re-characterize” local property taxes into a state tax was generally supported at a public hearing Tuesday, but a statewide school budget cap in the same proposal was not.
A superior court judge’s decision not to delay implementation of his order on the Statewide Education Property Tax will disrupt the local school budget process for many communities, claim those affected by the order.
Rep. David Luneau, D-Hopkinton, speaks in favor of House Bill 1128, which would require the administrator of the Education Tax Credit Scholarship program to open a nonprofit affiliate in the state. The bill was killed Thursday by the House.
