Tax credit plan sparks faith groups charity debate in Pennsylvania
In Harrisburg a Senate Finance Committee proposal would grant 10 to 25 percent tax credits for donations to eligible charities meeting 75 percent direct aid and 150 percent government funding caps. Churches and United Way may be ineligible. Church leaders warn credits undermine worship and state responsibility amid welfare rollback.
