HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – To tax or not to tax Marcellus Shale drillers? That is the main question bouncing around the state Capitol as budget negotiations enter their final month.
The Senate held a public hearing Monday on Governor’s Wolf’s proposal to impose an extraction tax on drillers to steer more money to public schools.
“I think, yes, there will be a tax on shale,” said Senator Art Haywood (D-Philadelphia).
