Pennsylvania does charge estate tax. For any amount. The rate changes based on relatedness to the decedent. Children pay less than your buddy you willed your boat to.
EDIT: Pa Department of Revenue website regarding Inheritance (Estate) tax.

Being a Reno graduate is no joke. At least, not a joke a Reno graduate would understand.

Serious question here. Do you think it would improve or hinder society as a whole by putting more people in jail? This will include people that want to consume alcohol but are wise enough to not drive.

I’m not a contractor but I’m pretty sure that any renovations of the sign could be achieved quite effectively with fire.

No. It would freeze/reduce property taxes to a defined level.
Next. They have a developed a rather complicated mathematical formula that distributes a new Earned Income Tax. The formula is based on household income and some other factors and is distributed unequally to districts based on those factors.
This idea has been around for a long time.
The average property owner would not less in property taxes and more in earned income taxes - almost making it a “wash”.
This with high income would pay significantly more.

This! I have always said this! I have been teaching for nearly 25 years. We do not need 500 school districts or five hundred administrators.
We also are too heavy with other admins who need secretaries and what not.
Also, the rules and guidelines for special education need to be looked at. We can make them more efficient.
We waste so much money on paperwork and testing.
Let me teach, in the words of Nick Siriani—-I know what the fuck I’m doing.
The state department of ed has waste too…n the da to be looked at.

Go PA! Very cool ... If Dems can take the time and make the effort to call these ghouls out on every wild conspiracy and austerity-based legislation designed to punish someone — like cutting SS — we might be able to neuter this iteration of Republicanism and get back to the time they are all just lame old white guys doing benign, lame old white guy stuff

These people love socialism when it is for them. When it is me or you it’s “bootstraps.” When you run to “big government” these guys say they hate looking for a handout or public intervention because their business is going under, fine, then the public becomes part owner until it is paid back. That’s how business is supposed to work. We don’t even have capitalism anymore. This is corporatism.

Oy. Break out the school house rock.
But with out the fun song and dance with out control of the state Senate it is unlikely any bill decriminalizing pot will get from the legislative floor to the governor's desk.

Not originally, look at the thread. You took it there. The original post was about the officers’ shooting, and the reason behind it - mental health & guns. You took it down a totally different road.
