State Rep. Tina Davis (D) will be holding her own version of a House Bill 76 forum for the public in September, just with one added difference. Both sides of the issue will be represented, Davis’ Chief of Staff Bryan Allen shared with LevittowNow.
“What we’re looking for is a calm discourse not a heated debate on the issues surrounding the Property Tax Independence Act,” Allen said.

Davis, who is on the record with supporting measure that would erase the current system of funding schools, has said she supports the concept but see’s challenges for the bill in its current form.
