Walsh to Host Town Hall on School Property Tax Elimination Aug. 20 in Drums, Sweet Valley

August 6, 2025

HARRISBURG – Rep. Jamie Walsh (R-Luzerne) is hosting two town hall meetings on Wednesday, Aug. 20, on a legislative proposal that would eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania.

“Property taxes continue to place a heavy burden on residents across much of the Commonwealth,” said Walsh. “a new legislative proposal has been introduced in the House of Representatives and these town halls will provide an opportunity to explain the legislation and get your feedback.”

Walsh will be joined by Rep. Wendy Fink (R-York), Sen. Dawn Keefer (R-Cumberland/York) and former Rep. Frank Ryan.

Both town hall meetings will be held on Aug. 20. The first one will be held at 2 p.m. at Beech Mountain Lakes, 1 Burke Drive in Drums, and the second one will be held at 6 p.m. at Sweet Valley Church of Christ, 5439 Main Road in Sweet Valley.
