While the governor and other administration officials publicly campaigned to get school districts on board with the law that distributes property tax relief from gambling revenues, Barnes stayed on the sidelines.

IOW Barnes was against any property tax relief? Afraid it would cut into her/education department's playhouse?

The need for legislation to transfer gambling revenue to school property taxpayers became a reality this week after 78 percent of the state's school districts rejected such a swap under Act 72. That law, approved last July as a companion to the law legalizing slot machines at 14 locations, also required participating districts to increase their wage taxes by 0.1 percentage points and limit future property tax increases.
