Previous Week's Speaker: Club Assembly

Dennis Younkin and Dr. Pat Best from the SCASD regarding Act 72, "The Homeowners Tax Relief Act". This is a statewide property tax reform program which will allow school districts to opt in or out. Districts which opt in will receive an unspecified portion of state gaming revenues, but must impose a new income tax which will replace an unspecified portion of an individual's property tax on their home. Various myths about this program were addressed.

This week’s note taker: Rose Kauffman (a great job!-editor)
