In Response To: Re: Tax on Dogs ()

Lee, do you happen to know if SC school districts also had the 16th Section land lease revenue to support its schools - that would be in addition to the dog tax? I know that every 16th Section in Mississippi was reserved for land lease and not sale and contributed land lease revenues to support its schools.

It is sort of hard to figure out what the connection is between dogs and schools that would justify taxing dogs, but in those days since revenue dollars were so scarce, I guess no connection was needed to support a new tax.
