Delaware County Families, Faith-Based Organizations & Advocates Unite to Call for Delay on Tax Cut for Corporations
WHAT: A coalition of organizations plan to rally in Media to urge PA lawmakers to take action on a plan that would save $360 million in the coming year’s state budget, making it available to invest in schools, health care, and other priorities. The plan calls for delaying a cut to the Capital Stock and Franchise Tax that would bring needed funds to cash-strapped PA school districts.
