Some folks in Indiana are getting what they asked for. They gave a tax cut to property owners - now they have to pay 40-50 bucks a month to bus their kids to school.

In the past, property taxes covered the cost of busing students. But last November, Indiana voters overwhelmingly passed a cap on the state's property tax rate. That's kinked the revenue stream that districts across the state use to maintain their buildings, pay down debt and keep buses on the roads. Proponents of the plan argued that it would force districts to budget based on revenues, not expenditures and learn to do more with less.
"Do more with less means cut transportation," says Franklin Township Superintendent Walter Bourke. "That's what that means for us."
