Republicans Battle Over School Tax Bill As Budget Remains Unsigned
Note: The legislation Gov. Corbett wants is in Senate Bill 330 (Scarnati-R-Jefferson) which was amended with a provision last evening limiting school property tax increases to the rate of inflation unless approved by voters.  The bill is on the House Calendar waiting for a final vote.  It must return to the Senate for a concurrence vote before it goes to the Governor for his action.
