Speaker: Mr. Simon Campbell, Mr. Campbell is a Pennsbury school district board member and a very vocal proponent of public union reform. He is a very interesting and dynamic speaker that can explain a concept in a very articulate manner. He has spoken on a varied array of subjects in front of distinguished audiences around our State on radio, TV and in public forums like C.E.P.T.A.
You can hear local radio host Bobby Gunther Walsh interview Mr. Simon Campbell WAEB 790 AM on Monday, Nov. 18th starting at 8:45in the morning.
Our CEPTA event for November “Public Union Reform” dovetails with our previous month’s meeting “Property Tax Elimination”. Mr. Campbell will discuss the projected increases in taxes due to the rapid escalations in payments that are expected to be required to replenish the underfunded public pension funds. The most recent account of the state's two major pensions shows they are underfunded by a combined $47 billion, and this assumes the funds will grow by 7.5% annually. Funding these pensions will cause increases in all taxes, including school taxes, just to begin closing this gap. Eventually every dollar of school tax increase may go just to fund pension obligations and teacher contracted raises and benefits.
Simon Campbell thinks he has a solution to the ever growing tax increases due to public employee contracted obligations. If you think your taxes are too high and want to find out how you can help control them come out and listen and ask questions of our presenter and see for yourself if it’s possible.
