PA Tax Reform Stalled by Uniformity Clause Amid Crisis
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled the state tax must be uniform, triggering a fiscal crisis that ended with a 2.3 percent flat income tax. Governor Shapp praised the measure for averting bankruptcy but urged a constitutional move to allow graduated taxation. Despite a year end surplus, relief for the poor and elderly stalled as a related amendment died, leaving promises unfulfilled. A separate federal panel in Philadelphia refused a stay on a ruling allowing city wage tax arrests for delinquent taxpayers, despite an appeal to the Supreme Court.
