Pennsylvania education department continues using 2002 data for casino tax relief
Pennsylvania’s Department of Education continues to use 2002 data to allocate casino-funded property tax relief among 500 school districts, according to the report. More than $1 billion is due to be distributed this year; local officials and analysts called for updated data, while Senator Jay Costa said the system still works but could be reviewed.
