Pennsylvania School Funding Reform Aims for Fairer State Aid
The 1977 78 Pennsylvania General Assembly will hear a draft by the Education Department to overhaul how state funds are distributed to 503 districts. It seeks a state guarantee of equal per pupil base, area income and property value adjustments, rewards for districts with high education taxes, and revised enrollment formulas to boost aid for special education and balance elementary and secondary funding. The plan targets wide disparities, like 177 dollars per pupil in Lower Merion versus 564 in North Clarion, arguing the state must close the wealth gap.

Simpler 1040A for low income filers questioned
Sylvia Porter warns that the upcoming 1976 Form 1040A may not be simple for lower income taxpayers. She notes it could be longer and harder to use, increasing chances of errors for uncomplicated returns and promises a stricter form for 1040A.
Tax forms simplified and desimplified threaten your filing
Congress twists tax simplification into desimplification by 1976 forms. Form 1040A shifts to self calculating deductions, credits and tax using larger tables or schedules, risking errors. The long Form 1040 looms as the nightmare, with retroactive changes and more lines, prompting caution on Form 1040A and 1040X guidance to avoid costly outside help.
