[Vision2020] please explain the tax advisory vote

[keely emerinemix]

I believe you're referring to the advisory vote that asks the electorate to 
reaffirm (or not) Risch's and the legislature's decision in August to revoke 
the .003 (we school people call it the "three mils") property tax support 
basis for public education funding.  I am voting no, and the Idaho School 
Boards Association and virtually all other statewide education groups are 
urging a "no" as well, because doing away with the three mils and switching 
instead to sales tax revenues as the basis for school funding is dangerous 
and puts schools in a less-secure funding position.

It is just an advisory vote, not binding, but an important one.

Can anyone explain the tax advisory vote that is on the ballot?  What does 
it do?  -Tom
