Talk:Act 60 (Vermont law)

Improvement
Thanks for improving this article. A couple of questions:
 * Does Act 68 etc. resolve the Killington question? Does that article (and other references strewed throughout Vermont articles need updating?
 * For purposes of this article is "citizen" the same as "taxpayer." i.e. An allowance was made for poor citizens of the state - some sort of rebate. Does this apply equally to taxpayers (who might not be citizens)? Student7 (talk) 16:24, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your encouragement and feedback, Student7. To answer your questions, here are my responses, to the best of my understanding:
 * I believe that Act 68 largely addresses the Killington issue, where there were funds flowing freely out of one district into another. Now, a district can spend up to 25% above a spending target without penalty. After that limit, a district must ship out $1 for every excess $1 budgeted. Still, just as within a town, there are always net giving properties that pay more in taxes than the services received and net receiving properties, so it is with towns across the state. Some give more than they receive from the state others receive more than they give. Act 68 just reduced the degree of wealth sharing.
 * As to citizen versus taxpayer, the state makes no citizenship test of a taxpayer. 32 VSA § 5401(7) provides the legal definition of a homestead, which includes it being the "principal dwelling owned and occupied by a resident individual...." Therefore the resident may not have the privilege to vote, but is paying taxes either as an owner or as a tenant (through their rent).
 * I hope that this helps. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 19:01, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
