Flood is introducing one bill to limit annual county property tax rate increases and a second that would close loopholes allowing school districts to avoid voter approval requirements for major borrowing. Flood’s second bill would prevent school districts from circumventing voter approval requirements through alternative borrowing arrangements. The proposal complements legislation introduced by Rep. Jack Rader (R-Monroe) that would require voter approval for major school construction and renovation debt, with limited exceptions for emergencies.

“While I supported the Fiscal Code bill, which advanced several key Republican priorities, I could not support the $50.1 billion General Appropriations bill because its spending level is too high. I remain concerned that revenue growth is not keeping pace with spending and that Pennsylvania will continue to face a structural deficit if we do not make lasting fiscal reforms. Still, several priorities our caucus outlined earlier this year are included in this budget agreement, and I am proud of the progress we achieved.”
