Margiotti speeds action on important laws in 1945
In 1945 Attorney General Charles J. Margiotti pushed swift moves through the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on key laws. The tax anticipation note act was ruled constitutional, avoiding a special session and freeing funds for relief and government expenses. He also pressed fast on the state income tax act, with the court blocking collection, and promoted public works via the state authority act and corporate net income tax. Parole supervision was strengthened, cutting violations among parolees with commuted sentences, and he pushed administration legislation ahead of a lengthy legislative session.
