Another “briefcase brigade” may be brewing.
Twenty years ago, members of the business community marched to City Hall to protest then Mayor John Street’s veto of a bill lowering Philadelphia’s wage tax. The effort was successful, but the tax remains a problem, employers say.
“The wage tax has been around here for 40 (or) 50 years. Way too long,” said Judith von Seldeneck, founder of Diversified Search Group, who participated in the brigade. “It’s a major problem.”
