Today, the House Democrats passed a bill that would raid $30 million from the Property Tax Relief Fund. At a time when too many Pennsylvania families are already struggling to make ends meet, I was proud to vote against this bill that, if signed into law, would drive up property taxes even further.

I want to make affordability a reality for all Pennsylvanians. This bill would NOT have achieved that.

Ok, June 30 is the date for final vote and approval of the upcoming Budget for the Pleasant Valley School District. They're targeting a 1% increase which equates to 0.25 mills. PVSD runs on a fiscal year, July 1 - June 30, but from a tax collecting perspective, we must bill and collect within the same CALENDAR year. Therefore, new school year begins July 1, and your school tax bill issues August 1. This bill must be collected by December 31 of the year in which it issues. However, the school taxes paid in this calendar year are covering the homeowner as paid through June 30, 2027. While no one likes paying taxes, and certainly the words "tax increase" inspire moans and groans from taxpayers, it's important to note that the 1% increase on an average assessed value of $143,289 is $37 more annually.
