(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Jesse Topper (R-Bedford/Fulton) stated yesterday that House Republicans have positioned legislation which includes the largest tax cut in the history of Pennsylvania with the passage of House Bill 2224. This bill passed the state House of Representatives by a unanimous vote yesterday in Harrisburg and it would eliminate the near 6% gross receipts tax on utility bills, cutting taxes on Pennsylvania’s families by $1.7 billion. Topper noted that affordability through tax elimination has been a cornerstone of the message of the House Republican Caucus on affordability throughout the current legislative session.
