Pa. rep. proposes bill to eliminate school property tax

7. Some Of These Proposals Might Be Good

But there's never any type of analysis by the Legislature or the news organizations regarding what this would actually do.

I can't see how directing these raised taxes to the local level is going to help wide swaths of the state. How is this going to generate enough money in Elk or Cameron counties where there's only a few thousand people to support the school district?

If we had any analytics, I think we'd see wide swaths of the Commonwealth that can't support themselves with their own local tax base. That means state tax money being generated in the more populated areas gets directed to the more rural areas that don't have much of a tax base outside of property taxes.
