Taxpayers Forum proposes plan to save state funds
The Taxpayers Forum of Pennsylvania claims a plan could save taxpayers 26 million dollars yearly. Key ideas include a unit tax collection system, welfare agency consolidations, county government reorganization, a state merit system, uniform budgets and reporting by boroughs and second class townships, plus miscellaneous changes. Proponents say essential services won’t be cut and waste would be eliminated. The plan warrants careful consideration and monitoring by other states.
