CompetePA

The Pennsylvania General Assembly is about to take-up the 2008-2009 state budget. Current estimates expect a fiscal year-end surplus of more than $300 million. The Legislature can do two things: spend the money; or cut taxes. It’s our money. Let’s get it back!

The CompetePA Coalition of more than 120 Pennsylvania firms and business organizations has a plan to make two meaningful changes in the business tax code:

Change the way the Corporate Net Income (CNI) tax is calculated, putting more emphasis on sales and less on assets and payroll so in-state firms don’t pay more tax than their out-of-state competitors; and
Remove the cap on the carryforward of net operating loss deductions (NOLs) so that Pennsylvania firms – like those in 48 other states – can fully deduct losses from start-up activities and business cycle swings.

Card-check Update

Thank you for taking action against H.R. 321. It was laid on the table on December 11, 2007. This threat is still very much alive! If you haven't already done so, please contact your state Representative IMMEDIATELY and urge him/her to vote NO on H.R. 321. Representatives can be reached through the main switch board at (717) 787-2372 or toll-free 1-800-868-7672 . Ask for your Representative by name. This must be stopped! The resolution urges Congress to approve legislation which would ELIMINATE the secret ballot for union elections AND would impose binding arbitration for contract resolution on all PRIVATE SECTOR employees FOR THE FIRST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY!
