Vetoed petrochemical tax break bill revived in Pennsylvania
By MARC LEVY Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania state lawmakers could vote on legislation this week that provides millions of dollars in tax breaks to turn natural gas into fertilizer and other chemicals, emerging from closed-door negotiations after Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed a similar bill earlier this year. The replacement legislation differs in some ways from what Wolf vetoed in March after saying that the Republican-controlled Legislature had not negotiated it with him. The newer version puts limits on how much each facility could reap in tax credits, for instance. A spokesman said Sunday the House Republican majority leadership will share the new version with rank-and-file members this week to gauge support for it.
