Philly mayoral hopeful sues for tax refund
Republican candidate Thacher Longstreth filed in Commonwealth Court seeking return of 135 million dollars from the state income tax deemed unconstitutional by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Gov. Shapp opposes refunds, crediting taxes already paid toward future tax replacing the tax. Longstreth argues the funds belong to taxpayers as a free bank for the state. The suit aims to hasten a new budget and tax package. Also notes Heinz reports 15.6 percent rise in consolidated net earnings for year ending April 28, a record eighth straight gain.
