Better late than never

Pennsylvania's biggest newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, has finally figured out that property taxes are the No. 1 issue facing state residents.

The newspaper is publishing a three-part series to highlight the "wildly disparate tax rates that widen the economic divide between haves and have-nots." You don't say.

Smaller newspapers (The Mercury comes to mind right away) have written hundreds of articles, columns and editorials on the need for property tax relief. It's good to see the Inquirer finally jumping on the bandwagon.

The Inky was also a little late on the pay raise fiasco in 2005. I guess it takes time for news to travel from Harrisburg to Philly.
