Casey eyes tax reform with $150 million local aid plan
Gov. Casey proposes a $150 million distribution to local governments to spur local tax reform and calls a November special session for enabling legislation. Republicans back cooperation but seek a $138 million state tax cut and a wage tax issue resolution. A bipartisan commission would study reforms and report to the session, while a Philadelphia wage tax remains a major obstacle.
