Dear Powerball

Hi. First time visitor. Can you please tell me where you found the information for the BINDING BALLOT QUESTION? I would like to forward the info, but with all due respect, want a duplicate source to reference. Thanks for a great blogspot!

Welcome to PowerBlog! I hope you come back often.The question is not easy to find because it specific to each school district. Most will be surprized to see it and not know what to do. It is required to be on the ballot and presented by your local school district.

Act 1 of Special Session 2006, also known as the Taxpayer Relief Act, requires each public school district in Pennsylvania to place a ballot question on the May 15, 2007 Primary Election Ballot. The question asks the voters if they favor increasing the earned income tax by a certain percentage in order to receive a decrease in real estate tax of a certain dollar amount.

Your local question may be worded a bit different but very similar.You can validate my post by going to the website of

You should have told the readers that you really got the ballot question ALL WRONG. There are NO validations for what you wrote, and if people really read what their school districts submit, they will see you summarized it incorrectly. It's a choice between raising your income tax and lowering property tax OR NOT. You will pay more in income tax than you will get a reduction in your property tax...and the school district gets nothing..except the blame. PLEASE tell your readers you got it wrong before you accidentally get this passed...and screw up the state. By the way, this started with you, and has now been propagated all over the state.
