新罕布什尔州最高法院维持了允许富裕城镇保留过多教育财产税收的做法,推翻了下级法院认为不符合宪法的裁决。 The New Hampshire Supreme Court has upheld a practice allowing wealthier towns to keep excess education property tax revenue, reversing a lower court's ruling that deemed it unconstitutional. 法院裁定,由于整个州的税率是统一的,因此这种做法并不违反宪法。 The court ruled that since the tax rate is uniform statewide, the practice does not violate the constitution. 这项决定使地产价值高、学生少、但需要更多教育资金的中低收入城镇处于不利地位的城镇受益。 This decision benefits towns with high property values and few students but disadvantages middle and low-income towns needing more funding for education.
