B. "A. Broughton to
Seek Reelection

some others bordering on
metropolitan areas, is caught
in a serious squeeze of rapid
ly growing population and
school enrollmentS without
adequate tax duplictes to bal
ance the growth; this results
in abnormally h i g h school
taxes on real estate. Adjust
mentS can and should be
made in the school foundation
program which determines
the amount of state particip-'
alton in public school costs;
these changes ought to recog-
ize and relieve the excessive
real estate tax burden for
public education in Geauga
County and other areas with
similar growth problems. If
nominated and elected, 1
shall continue to aggreSively
support legislation to accom-
plish this"
And" he continued, "there
are serious problems in the
field of higher education; and
in other areas, such as the
field Of higher education; and
in other areas, such as the
disturbing increases in the
cost of state government, the
pressing needs of local COVER
nment units in faSt-growing
communities, adequate but
Well-adminiStered aid for our
physically, mentally and fin
ancially handicapped, and a
thorough r evi W and pro-
able revision Of the entire
tax structure in the state.
1T is my sincere belief that
the training and long bushes
experience I have had, and
particularly my seniority of
service as a State Represent
ative, will enable me to help
solve some of these complex
problems, especially those
which are of gravest concern
to the folks in G e eauga
