If the goal is to lower gas prices, why is the focus on the federal tax when PA has the 3rd highest gas tax in the country?🤔

Not Another Bill That Goes Nowhere (PA Income Tax)

HB 1742 would eliminate the 3.07% PIT by 2026. SB 269, passed by the Senate in May 2024, would cut it to 2.8%.

Neither is law—hopefully they don’t stall like SB 1095 would cap rent increases at 10%; Sat idle since March 2025!

TIPS ON OVERTIME LAW 💰

July 2025: President Trump signed a bill allowing federal tax deductions on tips & overtime (2025–2028).

���️ PA has NOT adopted it — tips & overtime will STILL BE TAXED at state level!

WHY? "Concerns" over "lost state revenue & budget disputes" 🤔

PA Governor - Raise standards, not raises

Gov. Shapiro becomes highest-paid governor in the U.S. at $284K (PA’s median household income is $77K, poverty is 12%) & wages lag national average. Automatic raises for politicians don’t match the economic reality for Pennsylvanians
