Sketch: a house's school tax bill sends $590 a year to developer tax breaks; ending them sends $135 a year into a School Capital Reserve jar and $455 a year back into the homeowner's pocket. Mineola's jar holds $8.5 million; Rockville Centre's jar is empty. Fund the reserve. Cut the bill. End the developer tax breaks and both happen.
