Reply to comment by cielorossa in This sounds crazy but as of yesterday, we are less than 5 months away from the PA primary and the winner of the mayoral race will be the 100th mayor of the city of Philadelphia. November is an afterthought. The more candidates that run, the winner may snag it with just a one percent difference. by joeltheprocess76

Fortunately it’s an idea so stupid that the State General Assembly would probably intervene to end it.

The tax is on the books and has been since the 1800's. Philly and other counties stopped collecting it in the late 90's but I think that all city counsel has to do is reauthorize it.
