Nov. 7 ballot question 2a

QUESTION SHOULD BE, DO YOU SUPPORT ELIMINATION OF PROPERTY TAXES?

Question on the November 7 ballot asks,


Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution be amended to permit the General Assembly to enact legislation authorizing local taxing authorities to exclude from taxation up to 100 percent of the assessed value of each homestead property within a local taxing jurisdiction, rather than limit the exclusion to one-half of the median assessed value of homestead property, which is the existing law?

Passage of this question will not force any changes by the local taxing authorities, but will allow some flexibility by those that should choose to do so.

This question has been recommended for a YES by those advocating for property tax reform.

This will not effect your property taxes at this time.

While this question may allow for some positive results in the future for taxpayers, The passage of ACT 76, which eliminates property taxes and replaces funding with taxes on all residents should be ultimate goal.

  1. Sadly we need control over expenses and the school teacher unions want more money and do less to earn it . Look at what they have done to our kids.
