The Common Man presents The Great Pennsylvania Property Tax Calamity

Another site I've got to explore. Are there any platform planks within these pages.

The Common Man presents The Great Pennsylvania Property Tax Calamity... all Pennsylvanians are not treated equally when it comes to property taxes.

Justice matters. Otherwise, people vote with their feet.

First discussion meeting of city council for 2005 spends more money from 2004

City Council has a new budget for 2005. But, it is still spending money from 2004. There has always been funds that have been spent from past years. The tangled web is typical. But, because it has always been done this way can't make it right.

The city's budget for 2005 is not balanced. There is a $6-million hole where there is no legal obilgation to get money from the non-profits.

The mayor's office, the controller's office and now the sticking point comes from the clerk's office on spending of past year's money in 2006.

BTW, Bill Peduto ABSTAINED. Some leadership. Alan and Gene voted no. The others voted yes.
