Mauree Gingrich: Tax & Spender
|
Between 1991 and 1999, while Mauree Gingrich was "steering the ship" of Palmyra Borough Council, real estate taxes were raised from 15 mills to 23 mills, a whopping 53.3% increase. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation during the same period stood at 22.3%. Population growth in Palmyra between 1990 and 2000 was only 2.7%, according to the US Census Bureau. Between 1991 and 1999, Mauree Gingrich raised taxes in Palmyra more than twice the combined rate of inflation and population growth! Given her record, how likely is it that she will continue to go along with the big spending ways of Ed Rendell and others in Harrisburg? |
