Koering Battles the School Board

State Senator Paul Koering of Fort Ripley is continuing his fracas with the Brainerd School Board. They want to shift the health insurance costs of retired teachers on to the property tax, as a means of balancing their budget. Koering says we can't afford to levy another $23 million on to the property tax. He threatens to forward the calls and letters he gets from constituents who have lost their jobs and homes.
Koering says the property tax cannot sustain another hike.
