Aroca City currently funds its public schools through taxes on property. In place of this system, the city plans to introduce a sales tax of three percent on all retail sales in the city. Critics protest that three percent of current retail sales falls short of the amount raised for schools by property taxes. The critics are correct on this point. Nevertheless, implementing the plan will probably not reduce the money going to Aroca's schools. Several large retailers have selected Aroca City as the site for huge new stores, and these are certain to draw large numbers of shoppers from neighboring municipalities, where sales are taxed at rates of six percent and more. In consequence, retail sales in Aroca City are bound to increase substantially.

The critics are correct on this point.这句算一个小让步，后面的nevertheless形成转折，总体是：虽然批评者这点对了，但是实施该计划可能不会减少去Aroca学校的钱，所以作者还是支持这个计划的，并against批评者。
错把defend against连在一起看，意思就搞不清了
