...Wisconsin, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, the Green Bay Packers and often referred to as America’s Dairyland. Wisconsin’s state motto is very simple, “Forward”, which has defined the state’s drive to be a national leader since the motto was first instituted back in 1851. The state song, “On Wisconsin”, has a similar theme and represents a progressive state that is consistently moving forward. The Wisconsin school system also claims to have a proud history of progressive education. Wisconsin was granted statehood on May 29, 1848, becoming the 30th state. It was in this same year that Wisconsin first recognized public education, and began dialogue on ways to finance it. Wisconsin Constitution, Article X, Section 3 states that, “The legislature shall provide by law for the establishment of district schools, which shall be as nearly uniform as practicable.” Established school districts were handed the authority to govern the schooling in their region, and were given the power to tax in order to fund school development. According to Maher, Skidmore and Statz (2007) it was decided that the school districts should be funded through local property taxes, which presented further challenges. This created a heavy reliance on local property taxes, leading to frustration for taxpayers. The second major challenge was that all districts were different in size and demographic, therefore this created a disparity between districts in their ability to raise money through taxes. The state was...

Offshore financial centers (OFCs) are where these activities accumulates. According to Ahmed Zoromé, IMF Working Paper/07/87, an OFC is a country or jurisdiction that provides financial services to nonresidents on a scale that is incommensurate with the size and the financing of its domestic economy. Clearly, the appearance of OFCs stems from the development of world trade. Efforts to evade financial regulation and political considerations of regulation are among the most important reasons. The formation of OFCs is not a result of human force but a consequence of international political and economic factors. OFCs often enjoy a series of benefits attracting business. Besides the obvious tax reasons, OFCs often have these advantages such as political stability, business-friendly regulation and laws, and above all discretion. Since Chinese economy grows fast in recent years and the China becomes more open after joining WTO. Trading, travel industry and consuming have made the amount of oversea RMB transaction increase and the oversea RMB flow more frequently. Payment and settlement of offshore RMB have become an undeniable fact. Hence there have been substantial needs for an OFC of RMB to deal with this issue.
