What are Tom Corbetts views on property tax reform?
Tom Corbett knows that property taxes are burdensome for Pennsylvania’s families, seniors and businesses, and he believes that we must work to alleviate the property tax burden on Pennsylvanians with a realistic, comprehensive approach. He supports the reduction and elimination of property taxes if we can find a solution that guarantees reliable and equitable funding for public education and local governments. Tom Corbett believes that we need to devise a property tax reform plan that achieves real millage rate reductions and does not pit one segment of Pennsylvania’s population against another. He wants to protect Pennsylvania taxpayers and find solutions based on reliable and tested revenues sources. Property tax reforms – such as the recent law in New Jersey that caps the growth of property taxes and municipal spending at 2% annually, or the reforms in Florida and California – are all good examples of concepts that we should consider for Pennsylvania.
