We, the undersigned, as residents of the city of Harrisburg or the surrounding regions, urge Pennsylvania legislators to oppose SB 1151 and the House companion bill. If the bill passes the Legislature, we urge Governor Corbett to veto the bill.
Why is this important?
SB 1151 would establish a three member board to carry out the mandates of the Act 47 plan in Harrisburg, if City Council did not approve the plan. The board would have the ability to sell the city's assets, overrule arbitrator rulings and not allow the city the option of Chapter9 bankruptcy. This would usurp the ability of Harrisburg City Officials to govern their city and the voters wishes when they elected them.
