The plan of George E. Pataki to give some families a tax credit for their children's education, Assembly Democrats have come up with their own proposal a tax credit for every child in families earning up to $150,000 a year, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the proposal. So the Democrats came up with a counterproposal that would benefit a wider array of families, according to seven Assembly Democrats who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the plan was discussed in a private conference. The Assembly's proposal is likely to appease opponents of the governor's education tax credit, including the powerful teachers' unions, who had complained about giving public money to private schools when they say public schools are underfinanced.
