Issue Position: Hold the Line on Property Taxes

Issue Position

Issues: Taxes Housing and Property

Balanced budgets with the state contributing more towards education costs as it did in the past, while providing quality education for all.

I want to work with Governor Wolf to have the state pay a larger share of education costs, as it did in the past, instead of draining the pockets of property owners. With me and other Dems backing his plan, Governor Wolf will finally be able to implement a severance tax on natural gas extractors. Every other state with natural gas charges a similar tax, and it could raise $500 MILLION a year by 2020 that would be used to fund education in CASD and across the state. We need a working government with real solutions like this, before people are taxed out of their homes! None of Dan's opponents have committed to this - they only offer more empty talk with no solutions! More info here: https://stateimpact.npr.org/.../wol
