Raise sales tax to pay for public education

July 11, 2013

Frank Zullo was on the money with his letter to the editor about the school tax. I live in a 55-plus community, which is governed by the Pennsylvania condominium act that states no one under the age of 19 can live in the community. This effectively prohibits us from sending children into the school system, yet we must still pay all of our school taxes. New Jersey had raised its sales tax rate to 7 percent, so why not do the same here and use the money to pay the school taxes?
