Taxpayer rally set for June 2 in Harrisburg

The Pennsylvania Taxpayers Cyber Coalition and its 26 taxpayer groups are planning a rally on the steps of the state Capitol in Harrisburg at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 2, to demand the elimination of property taxes.

The taxpayers' alliance supports passage of House Bill 1275, the School Property Tax Elimination Act.

The last time a grassroots rally was organized at the state Capitol was in 2005 when 2,000 residents demanded repeal of the pay raise. And guess what? The Legislature gave in and repealed the pay raise.
