Riel, Other Mayors in Harrisburg
Mayor Tom Riel joined mayors from across the state today in Harrisburg in an effort to get lawmakers to take action on bills that would help them generate more revenue, and keep them from falling into financial crisis.
One of the bills the mayors are asking lawmakers to consider would allow municipalities to impose an essential services fee on non-profit organizations.
Last week, Riel told WESB and The HERO that, with more than 30 percent of the properties in Bradford listed as tax-exempt, the fee would help a great deal.
The mayors say they aren't looking for a bailout from the state, but need the tools to help themselves.
More than two dozen mayors were at the Capitol today.
