Inequality and the Minnesota Referendum Levy.

Kaiser, Harry M.; Nelson, Glenn L.

Journal of Education Finance, v8 n2 p152-69 Fall 1982

Data on 431 Minnesota school districts' use of the "referendum levy" (above the regular tax rate) and the "discretionary levy" (extending state aided taxes) indicate wealthier districts use the referendum levy more, yielding higher tax rates and more revenue. Referendum levies adjusted through district power equalizing should neutralize wealth effects. (RW)
