Supreme Court Reverses Past Tax Exemption On Public Improvements
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules that churches charitable institutions cemeteries and similar entities may be assessed for street sewers and other municipal improvements reversing decades of exempt status under the 1874 act. The decision holds that such charges are local assessments not general taxes and thus not barred by constitutional exemptions. The ruling overrules prior cases and affirms a lower court decision to apply assessments to benefiting property.

Gander, a longtime Democrat, was appointed by Republicans after receiving the nomination, but critics warn such moves could affect council elections.
