Wolf seeks big increase in Pa. school funding, tax increase

Philadelphia City Council leaders are proposing a small cut to business taxes, but a coalition of business chambers of commerce are pushing to slash taxes in the next decade.

Education spending got a major boost under Tom Wolf, but the Pa. governor struggled to establish a relationship with the GOP-controlled legislature.

Wolf’s fiscal plan is winning him plaudits from education advocates but few friends in the GOP-controlled legislature, who see a tax increase as a “non-starter.”
