Major Tax Reductions And Public Education, Philip Favero Sep 1980

Major Tax Reductions And Public Education, Philip Favero

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The following discussion of tax reductions uses as an example South Dakota’s own version of Proposition 13, the Dakota Proposition. In the discussion which follows, four major themes are developed. First, Dakota Proposition would have a very major consequence for public finance in South Dakota-beginning in 1982 and extending indefinitely thereafter. Second, Dakota Proposition and other major tax reduction proposals have a variety of origins---some particular to the relevant state, and some more general origins as well. Third, common misunderstanding and, indeed, ignorance exists about the benefits provided by public education and about taxation to support education. And finally, Dakota …

Market Women's Cooperatives: Giving Women Credit, Judith Bruce Jan 1980

Market Women's Cooperatives: Giving Women Credit, Judith Bruce

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

In 1972, the Nicaraguan Foundation for Development (Fundación Nicaraguense de Desarrollo—FUNDE), one of two programs sponsored by the Nicaraguan Institute of Development, became aware of market women's need for credit. This issue of SEEDS describes FUNDE's experience in developing savings and loan cooperatives to meet this need. This summary stresses the human aspects of the process as much as the financial and technical ones. The project has been successful because the cooperatives have built upon the existing market women's culture, utilizing all the subtle and complex interpersonal relationships established over the years. In essence what the cooperatives have done is …


Hanover Street: An Experiment To Train Women In Welding And Carpentry, Peggy Antrobus, Barbara Rogers Jan 1980

Hanover Street: An Experiment To Train Women In Welding And Carpentry, Peggy Antrobus, Barbara Rogers

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

The Hanover Street Project, formally known as the United Women’s Woodworking and Welding Project, is an experiment in training women for jobs usually held only by men. Begun in 1976, this was the first such program of the Jamaica Women's Bureau, established by the government during International Women's Year to ensure that women participate fully in Jamaica’s development. The project demonstrated that low-income women can learn non-traditional skills and can work together to improve their lives. Through trial and error, the project is providing the Women's Bureau with a wealth of information about teaching technical skills, working with other government …


Village Women Organize: The Mraru Bus Service, Jill Kneerim Jan 1980

Village Women Organize: The Mraru Bus Service, Jill Kneerim

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

The Mraru Women's Group in rural Kenya, like many community women's organizations around the world, is an example of a deeply rooted tradition of association and self-help among women. In 1971 the group began to gather its resources to solve a common problem—transportation. They raised money, bought a bus, and began a public transport service that made money; they now face other difficult questions such as reinvesting profits, serving members' broader needs, and maintaining a strong economic base. The Mraru Women's Group has shown unusual creativity and persistence in identifying common needs and organizing to meet them. They have also …

Revenue Sources For State And Local Governments: Criteria For Choice, Philip Favero Dec 1979

Revenue Sources For State And Local Governments: Criteria For Choice, Philip Favero

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Citizen dissatisfaction with taxes is a theme which has recurred often in American history--from the Tea Party at Boston to Proposition 13 in California. As before, tax dissatisfaction in its current form is prompting changes in: the level of government expenditures; the mix of revenue sources used to finance expenditures; and the structure of institutions created to provide public services. Much of the local tax reform effort is focused on state and local finance systems and especially on the real property tax. Citizen participation in reform efforts is an example of democracy in action. Yet, the quality of reforms achieved …


A Primer On Macroeconomics For South Dakotans, Philip Favero Nov 1979

A Primer On Macroeconomics For South Dakotans, Philip Favero

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

What is macroeconomics, you ask; and what does it mean to me? Macroeconomics is the study of aggregate economic conditions, such as a nation's employment, unemployment, and general price levels. Throughout history nations have experienced boom-to-bust cycles--times of employment and prosperity, followed by times of unemployment and hardship. Macroeconomics provides policy makers with ideas to promote economic stability - ways to combat the twin economic evils of unemployment and inflation.

The Dakota Proposition: An Economic Analysis, Philip Favero Nov 1979

The Dakota Proposition: An Economic Analysis, Philip Favero

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The Dakota Proposition, an initiated proposal to amend the South Dakota State Constitution, will appear on the 1980 ballot. The Proposition would seem to have far reaching implications. Yet, what are these implications? Will the Proposition be a boon to taxpayers, a calamity for government, or both? Three major provisions are included in the Proposition. These are: I. A reduction or rollback of taxes on real property to one percent of Full and True value, determined by assessments performed in 1977; 2. A ceiling of two percent annual growth in the Full and True value of real property for any …
