				Silo Repeal & Penny Replacement Resolution
				Whereas the proposed repeal of the School Infrastructure
				Local Option Tax (SILO) and replacement with a
				"Statewide Penny" sales tax would provide the
				opportunity for the fair and equitable distribution of
				sales tax revenue to all of Iowa's public school
				districts, and,
				Whereas the proposed legislation is intended to
				lower local property taxes which would otherwise
				be required to build and/or maintain school facilities,
				and, whereas the proposed legislation is intended to direct
				the collected consumer tax to lower the highest
				additional property taxes in the state, and,
				Whereas the legislation further directs any additional
				sales tax collected beyond the state average per
				pupil and additional levy rate reduction to raise the
				school foundation level above 87.5 percent, again
				relieving local property taxes, and,
				Whereas the proposed legislation requires a 2/3rds
				majority of a future legislature to change the intended
				purpose,
				Be it resolved that the Hinton Board of Directors
				supports the proposed "Statewide Penny" legislation
				as it is intended to support Iowa's local schools and lower
				the local burden of property taxpayers within the State of
				Iowa and hereby directs this resolution to be communicated
				to the governor of Iowa, the Representatives, and the
				Senators for the Hinton Community School District.
