It seems to me the general sentiment around the district is that Property Tax is the way to go, as in the past income tax levies have failed far worse than property tax levies, but some say changing times call for changing measures. I think an income tax will be more appealing to those who are unemployed and are hard-pressed to meet their bills. I was participating in the Knock, Talk, and Drop when a women scolded me for knocking on her door. She then asked me to guess how much her house cost and it turned out to be $300,000 and she complained that already she is paying $6,000 a year in property taxes. Clearly, she was an individual against property taxes, it is hard to say whether she would be more impressed with an income tax.
I do have one question about income tax for school districts, is collected the same way as city income taxes (you pay the income tax for the city you work in)? If that is the case an income tax would surely appeal to those who live in the district's boundaries but work outside of them.
