Philadelphia City Council rejects most of Mayor Cherelle Parker’s tax proposals to advance $7.1B budget
Philadelphia City Council approved a $7.1 billion preliminary budget but rejected most of Mayor Cherelle Parker’s tax proposals, including a $1 tax on Uber and Lyft rides and increases to hotel and delivery service taxes. The rejected tax was intended to generate $48 million annually for the School District of Philadelphia, which will instead receive a one-time payment. A final budget vote is scheduled for June 11.
