Year after year, the school districts raise property taxes so much
that seniors on fixed incomes and young families cannot keep pace with
these increases.

They are struggling to keep their homes.

House Bill 1 controls on budgets need to be tightened. The exemptions
to the inflation index on spending must be eliminated.

The index provides more than enough revenue to meet educational needs.

If the school boards want to spend more than necessary, then they
should seek permission from the public.

Referendums give the community a better opportunity to participate in
the management of education.

The school districts have millions sitting in off-budget funds; they
do not need loopholes to continue their expensive habits of the past.

"We, the citizens of Pennsylvania, request the exemptions to the
referendum in House Bill 1 be eliminated. The school districts have
more than enough funds and revenue to meet educational needs."
