Lawmakers Rally Behind PA Chamber’s Top Priorities

An op-ed published last week in the Allentown Morning Call endorsed several key tax reforms that top the PA Chamber’s priority list.

The piece, written by state Reps. Zack Mako (R-Lehigh), Robert Leadbeter (R-Columbia), and Tom Jones (R-Lancaster), described testimony delivered during legislative hearings, including one hosted at The Columbia Montour Chamber (pictured below), in which various industry representatives urged lawmakers to advance pro-growth proposals, including accelerating the reduction of the Corporate Net Income tax, improving the treatment of Net Operating Losses, and repealing the accelerated sales tax requirement, all of which would go a long way toward improving Pennsylvania’s competitiveness and helping to create family-sustaining jobs.

The Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce joins the PA Chamber of Business & Industry in applauding these state lawmakers for recognizing the benefits of these pro-growth policies, which have benefited other states’ economies, and for working with the PA Chamber to promote them here in Pennsylvania.  You can read their full op-ed here.
