Save Our Homes Rally
Organized in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Taxpayer's Cyber Coalition (PTCC) and 27 other grassroots taxpayer groups from across the Keystone State, the Save Our Homes Rally will feature personal testimony from several individuals who have been forced out of their homes or otherwise negatively impacted by school property taxes.
Also during Monday's rally, Rohrer and PTCC President Dave Baldinger will highlight the progress made in previous debates and the ever-growing grass roots movement to advance this legislation through the state House during the upcoming state budget hearings. The bipartisan, pro-growth School Property Tax Elimination Act seeks to replace all school property taxes and other local nuisance taxes with a broader 6 percent sales tax rate.
State Rep. Tom Yewcic (D-Cambria/Somerset), State Sen. Jeff Piccolla (R-Dauphin/York), State Sen. Mike Folmer (R-Lebanon/Lancaster/Berks) and many other state lawmakers will be in attendance to offer their support.
"For the past 30 years and counting, thousands of our most precious citizens are continually being forced from the security of their homes, many built with their own hands, by the very government that has been constitutionally entrusted to ensure the security of their property," said Rohrer. "In sharp contrast, the School Property Tax Elimination Act of 2007 spells both hope and freedom for all Commonwealth citizens because, rather than an un-measurable, gambling revenue-dependent reduction, it will eliminate 100 percent of school property taxes."
