What does it say about us as leaders if we allow families to be driven out of their homes because they can't afford their property taxes? I ask for your help in reducing school property taxes by an average of 30 percent this year.
I say, let's cut these crushing taxes now, and restructure our tax system in ways that make Pennsylvania more attractive to investors, and more equitable to homeowners while restoring vital services that are important to our economic growth.
