It's a property tax measure signed by Governor Rendell and being voted on this year.

What are the details?

It uses gambling money in grants to school districts to lower property taxes. 4/5ths of school districts have rejected the plan for various reasons.

Why? That sounds like a pretty good plan to me. Why would people not want their property taxes lowered?

There are more complicated issues, alot of the debate in my district involved real fears that the funds provided would be no where near what was expected. A few school boards were hijacked by anti-gambling groups, others by anti-Rendell groups, and some just didn't like the plan at all.
