More 'Property Tax Madness'

The Philadelphia Inquirer has published the second of its three-part series on the antiquated property tax system Pennsylvania uses to fund public education.

Entitled "Property Tax Madness," the first part examined the disparity of property tax assessments in the suburbs. Part 2 looks at the city itself. The third part will be about New Jersey.

It's worth a look at the Inquirer's Web site. There's also a calculator to figure out your tax burden and a breakdown of the taxes by municipality.
