Casino Revenue Property Tax “Relief”

Harrisburg politicians promised that casino revenue would supply significant property tax relief for homeowners.  In May 2005, Governor Rendell said, “As I traveled across the state in my time as a candidate and as Governor, I learned there is no greater concern among Pennsylvania citizens than relief from burdensome property taxes…I believe that we, in Harrisburg, who worked so hard on Act 72 remain steadfast in a common goal – providing property tax relief for all Pennsylvania homeowners.”
 

Tell Governor Rendell and the House Leadership, Speaker Dennis O’Brien, Majority Leader William DeWeese and Minority Leader Sam Smith  that you are still waiting.  Tell them that you want real, permanent, and complete school property tax relief!  (Click on each for email.)
