Ending State Aid for Education

Tuesday, 22 April 2008

Two bills sitting in committee in the state house and senate could, if passed, leave East Greenwich with no state aid for education. Rep. Edith Ajello of Providence, the deputy majority leader, and Rep. John Savage of East Providence proposed house bill 7957, “The Education Equity and Property Tax Relief Act,” that would re-allocate how much state aid every town receives. The same day in February, Sen. Hannah Gallo of Cranston and Sen. Rhoda Perry of Providence proposed senate bill 2650, with the same title by the chief purchasing officer.
