Doing something about the school property tax

Pretty soon you'll hear that the politicians in Harrisburg are voting to provide property tax relief, letting your school board raise other local taxes to reduce the property tax. Don't be fooled, it's another scam from Harrisburg to let you think they are voting in your interest. Unless it's eliminated it will continue to threaten home ownership. We are close to having school property tax elimination but party leadership and special interests are keeping it from coming to a vote.

Please join us in a bus trip to Harrisburg to show our legislators that we know the game that is being played. We want the vote on the bills for elimination, House Bill 76 & Senate Bill 76, not the smokescreen that party leadership is putting up. For more information:

No corporation or large interest group is bank rolling this effort. These are small taxpayer groups across the state joining together with the people to effect real change in Harrisburg. Beginning in 2004 this movement is finally within reach of getting citizen initiated legislation passed into law. Bus cost is $25 a head ($15 for children). If you want to drive in your own car please do! Read the information provided in the links to find out more.
