Legislature To Resume Today In Harrisburg
The Pennsylvania Legislature reconvenes with the House set to re enact a 406 million emergency tax package to fund the 1955 57 general fund. The plan, dating to 1935, would cover about 40 percent of revenue, with permanent levies making up the rest. The Democrats aim to send the bill to the Senate and then Gov Leader to secure funding via tax anticipation notes for deficits in the current biennium.
