No Relief In Sight

I don’t touch on PA state politics nearly as much as I should (possibly because The Inquirer's excellent metro columnist John Grogan, who keeps an eye on these things, has been on some kind of a sabbatical or something for a little while, though he's due to return shortly), but the individuals in Harrisburg who tried to ramrod through a 2 AM pay raise on the last night of the preceding legislative session fumbled the ball again recently on the issue of property tax relief (with Repug representative John Perzel being strangely absent for this decisive vote).

I thought Tom Ferrick’s analysis on this was pretty good, so I’ll let him take it from here.
