Do not know about income but sorry, their schools are much improved and talked about in the world of education as how one can make things better.

They r cooking the books.

• improvements are partly due to statistical manipulation, such as holding back lower-performing students to improve overall scores. "The 4th grade reading scores are simply manipulating statistics."
• Long-Term Impact: There are concerns about whether these improvements will sustain as students progress to higher grades. "The data reverts back to mean in older grades."

How's this any different than in Texas, Florida and other states that have no income tax. don't get pissed at others just because you all live in one of the highest income tax states in the country.

Yes they are last for income in the Union
Read this article about the education reform,it goes over in detail how they did. Sure you can game the system but not move from 50th to 10th OR every state would be doing it.

I would be pissed if I lived in Mississippi and had to pay state income tax but kids who earned income did not. Otherwise I don’t care about Mississippi at all. That being said I have no idea if they have a state income tax. I have no problems if a state doesn’t have an income tax. I’m happy living in Syracuse. To each there own

Lol the state is a Pitt and has some of the worst outcomes for their citizens across all kinds of metrics and this is what they're spending time on.

Uhhh. If they eliminate all income tax I would cheer. This is rather a carve out for an elite class who don’t even have to be citizens of the state to benefit.
