California split role, better schools lower sales tax.
Why is this important?
Somehow , Masachusetts has the best education system in the country and are rated the 2nd best state in terms of loving their kids according to the highly respected Kids Count study by the Annie E Casey Foundation. Yet they pay no sales tax on clothes , 6.25 percent on other items .Why , because of split role. Here in sunny California we pay close to or at 10 percent and did poorly in Kids Count 41st and are very low in education . How do they do it ? Split Role , they got it and we don't.
