GoLocalProv cites Portsmouth blogger on funding formula

Today's GoLocalProv, in a story on the proposed education funding formula, quotes this page's editor on the impact on Portsmouth.

Portsmouth and other East Bay schools won’t be losers in new education funding system proposed by the state—they will be devastated, according to John McDaid, a blogger who covers education issues closely.

Portsmouth, for one, would lose about $260,000 a year for a decade, and, because of the property tax cap, would not be able to raise taxes to make up the difference, according to McDaid. “Obviously, that would be devastating for our schools,” McDaid said.GoLocalProv

It's weird to be on the other side of the steno pad for a change, but I can't complain. The reporter, Stephen Beale, did a good job of getting my quotes right.
