It appears there will be two new studies of Vermont's education funding system.
The Legislature has commissioned one, and a California-based consultant recently won the contract.
In addition, two communities in southern Vermont - Dover and Wilmington - have decided to pay for their own study of how their local economies might have been affected by Act 60 and Act 68.
It's not entirely clear what the Legislature hopes to learn from its study. There has been a problem with higher property taxes in recent years. But that's due in large part to cuts in General Fund support for education. It doesn't require a study to figure that out.
