Rep. Scheuermann Letter to Governor Shumlin
Rep. Scheuermann, today, sent a letter to Governor Peter Shumlin in response to his invitation to legislators to offer suggestions for improvement to his Fiscal Year 2013 budget.
The letter focuses mainly on the Governor's education proposals, and specifically on his unfortunate dismissal of Vermonters' concerns about the statewide property tax and current education funding system.
As one who has heard for many years the pleas from our educational community, from businesses, and from families to reform the system, I was extremely disappointed in his comments.
I am hopeful the Governor and his Administration will begin to take seriously the very real concerns many Vermonters have about the current system: its complexity, its overly burdensome nature, its unfairness, and its unsustainability.
