4 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, May 9, 1990 Tie SDALLASCP0ST Support your candidate Tuesday "For Republicans, this Tuesday's primary election offers the widest choice of hopefuls for the nomination of State Represen- 3 tative from the 120th District seen in years. While the circumstances. that attracted this field may not be the most wholesome, the turnout is impressive. Voters have had the opportunity to compare the candidates both in press coverage and in last week's forum at Penn State. Their biographies are varied and extensive, ranging from years of holding public office to substantial involvement in commu- nity affairs. Certainly, the voters of the 120th District are fortunate to have so many competent, concerned individuals to choose from. ; The Post does not make endorsements in primary elections; we'll save that for the general runoff. But we do urge all eligible voters to support their favorite candidate on Tuesday, May 15. We believe that public discussion followed by voter participa- tion generally leads to better government. ~ Consider all factors ~ in school budget It's easy to get one’s dander up over the proposed increase in the Lake-Lehman School District property tax if you look at the ‘hike out of the context of the changes that have taken place in school funding recently. But that’s not a fair way to evaluate the administration's tentative 14 mill projected increase. One thing protestors forget is the lower rate of increase, and sometimes decrease, in the amount of money coming into the district from state and federal sources. Governor Casey's budget for this year includes only a 2.8 percent increase in ~ funding for education, while federal programs have actually lost ground from previous years. ‘Most people's total tax burden hasn't grown much over the past few years, either. Federal tax reform meant lower rates for many taxpayers, and state and local rates have held quite steady. That's not to say the proposed budget - with around a 10 percent increase - shouldn't be examined closely for areas that canbe cut or added to. Such scrutiny is always called for, and ~ isahealthy part of the review process that both school directors and the public must engage in. But before jumping to the ‘wrong conclusion, the needs of the district, and all sources of : funds should be taken into account.
