Pennsylvania State Senator Mario Scavello held this Town Hall event, along with State Senator Dave Argall, for citizens in the 40th Senatorial District to discuss the issue of school property tax reform and the November 7 general election ballot question. The Senators specifically discussed the proposed expansion of the Commonwealth’s homestead exclusion program and efforts to reduce/eliminate school property taxes through the existing homestead program. The senators described a two-step process in which state legislators would pursue a revenue bill providing for a shift away from school property taxes after voter approval. Callers had specific questions related to this proposal, the language of school property tax proposals and how this could affect seniors.
