This was never a local issue. Even though I have always lived and paid taxes in Monroe County. There are 67 counties in PA - not 1. As much as we would like to rule the other 66; that will never happen. We cannot even get rid of gerrymandering in our County.

Our County has other issues that also contributed to the high Sheriff Sale numbers. Many come or were suckered into buying more than they could afford. Many overlooked that we have one of the longest commutes in the nation. But, regardless; this is a State issue. We cannot change the system by ourselves or pay the needed sales tax by ourselves.

I still think that the solution is to control spending. I don't like legislation that tappers with taxes/payments without addressing the key issue.
