Description
Education; computation of composite index. Requires the General Assembly to adjust the state share of providing an educational program meeting the Standards of Quality, for all localities that have adopted a land-use plan. The state share for such localities will be increased by an amount equivalent to the state share if a real property tax value indicator of local wealth were used that incorporates the land-use assessment value for those properties within a land-use plan. Amends § 22.1-253.13:9 (“Virginia Index of Performance incentive program.”), of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »

Comments
Localities that choose land use valuations should not be rewarded with additional state aid at the expense of those localities that don't. This benefits Counties at the expense of Cities.
Apparently Jim never goes out of the city. Open space is enjoyed by city people who like to see the countryside. Surely Jim knows that farmers are having a very hard time. Does he want to see more give up and sell to developers? Keep in mind that it is city people that are coming down and bidding up the land to levels that are used to show that rural counties are wealthy and able to pay for schools at a rate similar to Northern VA schools- .8000 lci.
