GOP tax package doomed in Harrisburg
The Senate Democrats plan to reject the House Republican tax reduction package this week and send the issue to a joint conference committee for a second time this year. The plan totals 255 million dollars in tax cuts, 40 million more than Gov. Shapp proposed, with a looming December 41 deadline and a backdrop of other bills including mortgage relief, elder relief, rent relief, and the death penalty. Senators are expected to vote Tuesday to defeat the measure and appoint a six member House Senate conference panel as talks resume amid last week’s budget settlement.
