Mayor Parker just rolled out her “One Philly, One Future” proposal to City Council this week — a massive $6.97 billion spending plan with $227 million in fresh operating investments aimed at schools, public safety, housing, road repairs and more.She’s steering clear of property or wage tax hikes, but loaded up on these instead:• New 25¢ retail delivery tax on nearly every home order (Amazon, Walmart, etc. — food, baby products and medications exempt)• New 20¢ per-ride tax on Uber, Lyft and all rideshares (projected to raise ~$10M for schools)• Hotel occupancy tax increase (expected to bring in $20M a year)• New 2% sales tax mandate forcing out-of-city and online merchants to collect Philly’s full local tax on sales to city residentsMore everyday taxes. More big spending.This is the predictable result of one-party Democrat control in Philadelphia.
