Pennsylvania's highly localized political structure leads to multiple layers of taxing authorities. We'll talk about the structure as a whole and finally hone in on Pennsylvania state property tax reform through the eyes of the South Eastern Tax Reform Coalition. Join us as we try to navigate this tax maze in the state of Pennsylvania!
