School Property Tax Elimination

Our current system of school funding is crumbling. This decay has been occurring for many years and continues to escalate. Dozens of school districts are near or in financial distress. Education spending is exceeding the rate of inflation by over two to one The impacts are enormous:

  • Senior citizens are being forced from their homes because hety cannot afford the escalating property taxes.
  • Family farms are being sold due to unaffordable property tax assessments.
  • Young families cannot afford to purchase a home because the taxes are simply too much.
  • High property taxes negatively effect the business climate of the state making it difficult to compete and negatively affecting job creation.


It is these reasons which have led me to support the "School Property Tax Elimination Act of 2007" also know as the plan for Pennsylvania's future.
  • The future of HOMEOWNERSHIP in Pennsylvania is secured
  • the future of EDUCATION FUNDING in Pennsylvania is stabilized
  • The future of BUSINESS in Pennsylvania is promoted

Join me in supporting The plan for Pennsylvania's future, our future, our children's future
