The education of New Hampshire's Children is recognized in our constitution as a key role of our state government. But above that, such education is clearly a noble goal and I do not need a constitution to recognize that. The state's current education adequacy payment is more properly designated an education inadequacy payment, because at the current $4,100, that payment is less than 20% of the cost at even the most parsimonious school district in our state. It is time to step forward towards a fair support of education, both to educate the children and to increase the fairness of funding by lowering local property tax rates that fall heavily on elderly residents that may be property rich, but otherwise suffering financially. How long must our local schools and local taxpayers wait?
