Senators hatch plan for options on local taxes
Looks like some of our Robber Barrons are trying to get back into our good graces, as reported by the Philly Inquirer:
- "Eight Republican state senators from the Philadelphia suburbs said yesterday they would press to reduce property taxes by giving local governments and school districts the option of levying an income tax.
The GOP legislators made the proposals just two days after Gov. Rendell issued his own property-tax agenda.
They announced a package that would also cap state spending, use some revenue from gambling to expand the current property-tax-rebate program for senior citizens, and freeze property taxes for lower-income seniors.
The likelihood of any of these measures passing is unknown."
