By Michelle Monroe (St. Albans Messenger)

Posted on July 21, 2011 |
By Michelle Monroe (St. Albans Messenger)



ST. ALBANS — School taxes are the missing piece in an ongoing effort to revamp Vermont’s tax structure, according to Rep. Carolyn Branagan, R-Georgia. To remedy that problem the state recently hired a California firm to study the state’s education taxes.
