Issue Position: Property Taxes

Issue Position

the lion's share of property taxes are used to fund education. While Act 60 and 68 have helped equalize education opportunities for children, after more than 10 years and changing economic conditions, it does not provide equity for taxpayers. Education financing formulae have a shelf life, and Act 68 is nearing the end of its shelf life -- it has become too complicated and too far removed from the transparency that's necessary for taxpayers. I will work for education financing to be balanced, fair, and more transparent, and based less on property value and more on ability to pay.
