Pennsylvania needs a land use tax act similar to New York
The speaker argues for agricultural districts and a tax system taxing land use rather than market value. He cites New York and California models, supports 5000 acre districts, calls for county participation, a seven member agricultural tax board, and open farmer representation. He warns against land loss to nonagricultural uses and urges a shift of tax burden to those benefiting from services.
