WASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters)- From Pataskala, Ohio, to Conroe, Texas,
local government leaders worry that if Republican tax - overhaul plans moving through the U.S. Congress become law, it will be harder for them to pave streets, put out fires, fight crime and pay teachers.
But if the secretary follows the spirit and letter of the law, then state and
local school
leaders will finally be able to run their schools the way they believe is best, without
worrying about the federal
government getting in the way.
