The Pennsylvania Constitution allows tax relief only for actual places of regularly stated religious worship, so a parsonage used for church business meetings would not qualify for exemption. The Journal notes court rulings deny relief and invites letters to the editor. The piece also critiques liquor control policy and Gov.
