Beaverton School Board Rejects Regional Income Tax

OPB News:

A proposed regional tax to fund metro-area schools next year is dead.

The responsible party is the Beaverton school board, whose members voted unanimously last night to reject the plan. Rob Manning reports.

The vote was seven to zero. Eight to zero, if you count retired board member, Mike Leopold.

Mike Leopold: We don't want to let our local control away, let slip away, by joining with the other school districts to initiate a regional income tax.
