Letter-writer Dwayne Buffer (“Officials keep sticking it to electorate,” Feb. 19, TribLIVE) was right on. School boards and elected officials across the state fail to balance their budgets and overspend, and just raise our taxes with a stroke of a pen.
Not long ago before we had gambling in Pennsylvania, our legislators told voters, “You give us gambling in this state, and we will eliminate property taxes.” Another lie from our politicians. Taxpayers are fleeced again and will continue to get fleeced with more tax increases because of overspending by schools and county commissioners.
Homeowners in Pennsylvania are tired of their property taxes going up, especially the seniors on fixed incomes.
