The Pennsylvania Taxpayers Cyber Coalition has sent out an e-mail to 3,000 people across the state informing them about nine state representatives who are being labeled "turncoats" by the taxpayers group.
The nine lawmakers did not support Monday's vote on the Rohrer amendment that would have eliminated property taxes for Pennsylvania homeowners. The nine lawmakers had signed on as co-sponsors of House Bill 1275, but when it came time to vote, they voted against Rohrer's plan.
The PTCC, which represents 26 taxpayers groups across the state, wants its members to know where lawmakers stand on the effort to eliminate property taxes. If you're not on the mailing list, here are the nine "turncoat" lawmakers:
Rep. Steven Capelli, R-83
Rep. Garth Everett, R-84
Rep. Will Gabig, R-199
Rep. Dick Hess, R-78
Rep. Dan Moul, R-91
Rep. Jeff Pyle, R-60
Rep. David Steil, R-31
Rep. Barbara McIlvaine Smith, D-156
Rep. Harry Readshaw, D-36
(Steil has announced he is no running for re-election, but as far as I can tell, the other eight are planning to seek new terms in 2008 -- unless taxpayers vote them out.)
