There's a bunch of people I'd like to line up and kick in the crotch.

Sales taxes in Alabama are generally the only taxes that can be locally raised without the permission of the state legislature and sometimes a statewide referendum (Constitution of 1901). It breaks down to 4% state tax, 6% city or county tax. The last 1% raise was by the Jeffco Commission for all schools in the county (which has since been recently sidetracked for other purposes).

The state sales tax and state income tax are the main ones that support public schools (the SETF) in Alabama. State income tax credits given for contributions to SGOs which help students attend private schools cut this source of funds by many millions of $$ yearly.
