Tax reform panel OKs wage tax boost plan in Harrisburg
Senate Local Government Committee endorsed the central wage tax increase allowing school districts and municipalities to raise from 1 to 2 percent with county adds, pending voter approval. The plan aimed to lower property taxes but faced Democrat criticism over relief gaps and missing big-city coverage. A floor vote on a related home value tax exemption bill was postponed due to wavering GOP support and absences.
