This communication, placed on file, reports that the mayor returned unsigned Bill No.
April 24, 2003 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA: I am returning herewith unsigned Bill No. 030073, passed by the Council on April 3, 2003. Bill No. 030073 would provide relief from overall property tax increases in the form of wage tax reductions. To the xtent City real estate tax revenues overall grow by more than two percent in a given year, the bill would require the City to reduce its wage tax rates in the folowing year by an amount sufficient to reduce wage tax revenues by such "excess" real estate tax revenue growth.

I continue to support coordinated, equitable and cost-effective tax reform. This bill however, constitutes flawed attempts to achieve the imperative goals of tax reform and tax reduction. I cannot support this bill. Bill No. 030014 is essentially a repeat of a bill I previously vetoed, Bill No. 020537-A, and I will not repeat here the reasoning I set forth in my veto letter of December 5, 2002. This bill would effectively impose a ten percent "cap" on real estate tax increases for fiscal year 2003. In addition to the issues raised above, I remind you the Solicitor has advised us that we are legally powerless to interfere with tax measures already enacted for the current fiscal year, once the fiscal year has already begun (indeed we are now nine months into the fiscal year). My administration est...

Finding that the nomination by Governor Edward Rendell on April 22, 2003 of a hold-over Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner who has not aggressively pursued the public interest and the failure to establish a new State Public Advocate for Insurance to advocate for insurance policyholders will continue the long-standing problems of excessively high insurance rates and anti-consumer practices of insurance companies, and urging Governor Rendell and the General Assembly not to re-appoint the current, hold-over Commissioner and to establish a new Public Advocate for Insurance.
