That is why, in recent newspaper articles and commentary, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) has called for a radical restructuring of the board. In recent days, we have also been pleased to submit guidance on specific issues of board governance to the Pennsylvania Auditor General as he prepares to provide you with a special report. Since, ultimately, you—members of the legislature—will be responsible for any statutory changes, I want to take the opportunity to highlight some recommendations. By way of introduction, ACTA is an independent nonprofit organization devoted to academic freedom, academic excellence, and accountability in higher education. For over 15 years, ACTA has worked with policymakers and trustees across the country to promote academic quality and affordability. Our Institute for Effective Governance focuses specifically on higher education governance.

    Fair Share Tax Plan District Fact Sheet REPRESENTATIVE PATRICK HARKINS HOUSE DISTRICT 1 The Problem Pennsylvania needs to fix our broken tax system so we have the resources to invest in education, infrastructure, protecting our environment, and human services. We won’t have the funds for common goods if we don’t ask everyone to pay their fair share. Pennsylvania has an upside-down tax system, where those at the bottom of the income scale pay disproportionately more. Those at the bottom pay 12%, those in the middle pay 10%, but those at the top only pay 4%. The Solution The Fair Share Tax Plan: • Raises the income tax on dividends, capital gains, business profits, estates, royalties, and gambling winnings. • Cuts the income tax on wages and interest. • Will generate $2 billion while only raising taxes on less than 20% of Pennsylvanians. 50% of the new revenues will come from the top 1%; 72% from the top 5%; 88% of Pennsylvanians will see their taxes go down or remain unchanged. WHY REP. PATRICK HARKINS SHOULD SUPPORT THE FAIR SHARE TAX PLAN: While still raising $2 billion for investments in Pennsylvania communities, the Fair Share Tax Plan would: REDUCE OR NOT INCREASE STATE INCOME TAXES FOR 87.3% of constituents in Rep. Patrick Harkins’s district CALL 717-787-7406 – TELL REP. PATRICK HARKINS TO SUPPORT THE FAIR SHARE TAX PLAN Fair Share Tax Plan District Fact Sheet REPRESENTATIVE FLO FABRIZIO HOUSE DISTRICT 2 The Problem Pennsylvania needs to fix our broken tax system so we have the resources to invest in education, infrastructure, protecting our environment, and human services.

  • November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania Was One of the Most Closely Watched
    Keep up to date with our blog: Follow us on Twitter @BuchananGov knowingGovernmentRelations.com November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania was one of the most closely watched states in the country on Election Day. Redistricting of Congressional seats meant a shakeup was coming for the Commonwealth’s 18-member delegation. At the statewide level, the Governor and one of two U.S. Senators were on the ballot. In the state legislature, half of the 50 Senate seats (even- numbered districts) and the entire 203-seat House of Representatives were up for grabs. During the 2017-18 legislative session the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was comprised of 121 Republicans and 82 Democrats. After last night’s election, the 2018-19 legislative session will have 109 Republicans and 94 Democrats, after the Democrats picked up 11 seats. In the Pennsylvania Senate, Republicans had a majority during the 2017-18 by a margin of 34-16. Yesterday, Senate Democrats picked up 5 seats, narrowing the Republican’s majority. Next session will have 29 Republican members and 21 Democratic members. The 18-member Pennsylvania delegation had only 6 Democrats during the 115th Congress (2017-19). When new members are sworn into the 116th Congress next year, Pennsylvania’s delegation will be split, with 9 Republicans and 9 Democrats. Governor Governor Tom Wolf (D) and his running mate for Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman (D) defeated the ticket of Scott Wagner (R) and Jeff Bartos (R). Wolf received 2,799,1559 votes (57.66%), while Wagner got 1,981,027 votes (40.81%). U.S. Senate Senator Bob Casey (D) defeated Lou Barletta (R) by a margin of over half a million votes.
