Someone needs to refresh my memory (I know we have a planner or 2 on here) - weren't impact fees ruled unconstitutional?

Doesn't work that way. Act 1 changed all that. The cost may not go above what is aproved by the voters.

I've mentioned this idea repeatedly on TB. Other states impose a "tax" to the builders, why doesn't PA? Next time you are near the PA state line, look to see who the builder is on projects. PA gets a lot of out of state builders in because there is no "tax" on them to build. They can make more money. Some builders even get hotels for the week so they can work here.

Again, doesn't that amount to impact fees? And I think they were ruled unconstitutional...

... school property tax elimination rally that will be held in the Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg on Monday, June 2, from 11:00 AM – Noon. ...we need as many folks as possible to attend to voice their support for HB 1275, the School Property Tax Elimination Act.

Please do all that you can to join in this event and please help to spread the word to others who will be willing to attend. The time for action is NOW!

For those of you who might need transportation to the rally there are a number of bus trips planned in east and central Pennsylvania that still have seats available. This is a convenient way to get to the capitol and to establish camaraderie with others who are working for true education finance reform. A list of available buses and contact names are listed below my signature; all are $20 or less depending on location and will be reserved on a first-come basis.
