What do We Propose?

The most basic reform would be the property tax.  For example, instead of 82.64 mills on land and buildings, we could bring in the same revenue with 54.22 mills on houses and other buildings and 173.68 on land values.  It works where used, and Philadelphia cannot ignore an idea that can help us through hard times and beyond.

Changing the property tax from an unfair and damaging tax to one that rewards those who have built and will build buildings and "incentivize" vacant land and blighted property owner to get off the dime and start spending some dollars to make the city a better place for all.
