Opponents of Scranton's proposed commuter tax has launched a website seeking donations to fight the tax.
Dubbing itself STOP (Scranton Taxing Our People), the group led by Mayfield Mayor Alexander Chelik created a website, http://stopscranton.com.
The group hopes to stop Scranton from imposing a 1 percent earned income tax on nonresidents working in the city. It's seeking donations to fund a legal fight against the city's petition that will be heard Dec. 10 in Lackawanna County Court.
A 1 percent commuter tax is one of the key alternatives to property tax hikes under the city's revised Act 47 recovery plan adopted Aug. 23. The city needs court approval to impose a commuter tax each year that it may exist.
