Pa. Senate Could Vote To End School Property Taxes (But Raise Sales And Income Taxes)
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Pennsylvania State Senate
could vote next week on a proposal to end school property taxes. It
would be a historic first, the end of all school property taxes in the
state. “More than 80 local taxpayer groups came to me about a year ago
and essentially said forget trying to tweak the property tax, the only
way to reform property tax is to kill it,” Berks County Republican David
Argall told Eyewitness News.
Argall is sponsoring a bill in the senate that is receiving
bipartisan support. It proposes eliminating school property taxes for
homeowners and landowners in exchange for raising the state sales tax
from 6 to 7 percent and increasing personal income tax from 3.07 to 4.34
percent.
