Former School Committee member Gerry Nutter said the school budget shows an $18-million boost in state funds for Lowell schools instead of a $4-million cash cut and noted that residents are overtaxed by about $14-million; he urged the School Committee to ask clear questions on big cost items like pay raises and textbook spending and to call for a new plan on cash contributions— a view shared by several nearby towns facing similar issues.
