That's the consensus from four members of the state House who represent parts of Luzerne County, when asked about the Republican-supported tax relief plan discussed in the House Finance Committee on Tuesday. State Rep. Aaron Kaufer, R-Kingston, who sits on the Finance Committee, said he is determined to eliminate property taxes altogether but for now he supports the House GOP plan presented Tuesday, which would raise the state sales tax and personal income tax and apply the increased revenue in dollar-for-dollar reduction in property taxes.
