If you think the schools and taxpayers can weather AVI, take a look at the new tax breaks planned by Nutter's buddies in Harrisburg. Given that we now know that AVI was always designed for million dollar kick backs to multinational corporations owning skyscrapers, it's unbelievable that they still distract people with the whole package of lies about tax deadbeats and help for schools.
Tax deadbeats is a completely fake issue and every penny of the property tax increase will go to centerr city skyscrapers. There would be no Philadelphia budget problem, at all, if the plan to eliminate all taxes on multi-national corporations hadn't been undertaken over the past two decades, while non-profit universities became tax shelters over the same period.

"Last week, the Senate Finance Committee approved legislation that would create a new loophole in the state inheritance tax. It allows business owners to bequeath business assets tax-free to their heirs — an advantage unavailable to most hardworking Pennsylvanians who inherit a family home or car.
Over in the House, the Finance Committee voted 18-16 on Wednesday to approve a bill that would exempt sales tax on the purchase of private and corporate aircraft, jet parts, and aircraft maintenance and repair. A car or truck purchase will still be subject to sales tax, but those in the market for a private jet will get a tax break.
Finally, the House Commerce Committee is voting today on legislation that would reward investors in Pennsylvania start-up companies with a new tax credit that they can take even if they owe no state taxes. To qualify for the credit, the investor must have a net worth of $1 million or income above $200,000 a year"
