I believe property taxes are an extremely inequitable way to fund schools and local governments. They are also very expensive to maintain due to the need to constantly reassess property values. Unlike any other tax in Pennsylvania, property taxes - if you can't afford them - give government the power to take away something you already own. That's just wrong.
For these reasons and more, I am the prime sponsor of HB1115, which would offer Pennsylvanians the opportunity to amend our state constitution to permanently abolish all property taxes once and for all. I have also supported every other bill in the House of Representatives that seeks to offer any sort of property tax relief.
