Senate approves floating mortgage rate bill in Pa
The Pennsylvania Senate approved a bill by 44 to 2 to set a floating mortgage rate tied to long term government bonds, replacing the eight percent ceiling. If enacted, the rate could average around eight percent for January and February. Critics say the plan favors lenders over housing accessibility for middle income and urban residents, and a government study questions its effectiveness. The measure advances to the House alongside a 15 percent welfare cost of living boost costing $37 million.
