Local tax appropriation was 60% schools and 40% city back in 2004. Today it is 51.8% to schools and 48.2% to the city.

So Davebarry, that $1,000 in new taxes will equate to $518 to schools and $482 to the city.

Also keep in mind the city is tapping the surplus for another $2.5 million, so that percent is getting closer to 50-50.
