Harmony committee debates tax proposals in Harrisburg session
In Harrisburg the harmony committee of the legislature began a program for the zoning special session amid talk of revenue moves. Karlie Schwelile, state relief director, estimates 70.5 million dollars is needed to fund employment relief through year end. Republicans challenge the figure while Democrats propose tax increases including a gasoline levy and higher personal property tax. The governor backs a bipartisan committee to avoid a prolonged session. Members include Senators Owlett, Geler, Thompson, Reed, and Reps. Blumberg, Turner, Burke, and Eberharter.
