Here are the numbers regarding the estimated property tax relief for residents of Westmoreland County School Districts (Dollars per household per year) due to gaming revenue. This is obviously not enough and we need to do more to change the way we fund public education to make it better for our children and more affordable for our taxpayers. The state legislators will try to pass the responsibility to the school districts and blame property taxes on overspending. Sorry, but that is ridiculous. That's an easy "gotcha" political answer and accusation. To see some of my ideas regarding property tax reform, click here.
