if the general assembly, a responsible plan to solve this crisis every pennsylvanian, every pennsylvanian will suffer the consequences and those consequences will be real. they will be immediate and they will be severe. three quarters of pennsylvania homeowners will see there too high property taxes skyrocket. a top member of this body would stand up and propose a tax increase on property taxes, property tax increase, he or she would be booed off the floor by democrats and republicans but in fact that is exactly what will happen if we do not act. we have seen this played out for the last four years. since 2011 school districts have been forced to increase local property taxes by $1.2 billion all because of our irresponsibility right here in harrisburg. in the last year alone 83 school districts increased property taxes above the index because harrisburg did not produce a responsible budget. and another 175 contemplating additional tax increases this year for the same reason. this tax shifting is not sustainable and it will only continue to squeeze families and seniors if we do not stop pa
