Property owners, do you want to see the elimination of your school property taxes?

State Rep. Jim Cox, R-Berks County, formally introduced the Property Tax Independence Act in the House of Representatives last year. It should come up for a vote in 2017.

Voters of the 121st District, your representative is Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre.

When HB 76 comes up for a vote, Pashinski will not vote for its passage.

He is against the elimination of school property taxes.

Homeowners of the 121st District, do you know that in Luzerne County we have legislators that support HB/SB 76?

State Sens. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, and Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, and state Reps. Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake; Tara Toohill, R-Butler Township; Gerard Mullery, D-Newport Township; Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor; and Aron Kaufer, R-Kingston, are all in favor of the bill.

Missing are Pashinski and Mike Carroll, D-Avoca. Why?

Homeowners, it’s up to you to hammer your employee who isn’t working for you. Contact Pashinski and demand that he support HB 76. Accept no excuses.

We the people, who are the government, have given our elected officials a Cadillac lifestyle, and some of them are giving us the shaft. No one should lose their homes. There are 87 PTCC groups in Pennsylvania fighting for the elimination of school property taxes. To learn more, go to www.ptcc.us.

Please contact the legislators who are not supporters of HB/SB 76 — Sens. John Blake, D-Archbald, and John Gordner, R-Berwick, and Reps. Carroll and Pashinski.

Charles Urban

President of Luzerne County Property Owners
