Private communities present problems for Pa. | PoconoRecord.com: "Some Pennsylvania legislators believe some new rules for private communities are needed. Local representatives receive frequent calls from homeowners in private communities, often complaining about association fees and limited services.
While private community homeowners pay state taxes, state grants are not available to residents. Private associations are not eligible to apply for most state grants.
Although Monroe County state Rep. Mario Scavello, R-176, introduced House Bill 1068 this year, which would provide grants and funding for dams that are privately owned. 'These private lakes, God forbid there is a breach, the communities around them are going to have problems,' Scavello said.)
Homeowners in private associations pay municipal property taxes, but no municipal dollars are spent within the gates of a private community.
Another bill introduced by Scavello would allow homeowners in communities to deduct 75 percent of their annual association fees from their state income tax return. This would help offset the 'double taxation' community homeowners say they face."

This is long overdue and especially for the victims of the fraudulent, fabricated, "created conflict," foreclosures. Really, over two yeras ago, Rep. Paul Kanjorski and Rep. John Siptroth were educated, educated and educated on what was happening to unsuspecting and vulnerable populations within some of these horribly abusive groups. I believe Mr. Scavello, was contacted as well, more than once. It appears they did not care. I know one person went to all of those just mentioned and literally begged for help. This individual enlisted those most notable in legal and advocacy to help these people (PA elected officials mentioned above), including Shu Bartholomew, Donie Vanitzian, David Kahne, The McMahons, Rep. Julio Robaina and Jan Bergemann...I believe you were contacted , too, Dr. McKenzie. The victims of the outrageous and unjustified foreclosures, within these abusive groups, in Pennsylvania deserve legitimate investigations, and to be rectified for the legal abuse and homelessness. There are many who have stood up to these thieves, thugs and bullies and I believe some in advocacy, from Pennsylvania are: Maureen McGrath, Robert Metcalf, Stewart Rosenblum, Al Wilson, etc., can be heard/read on the www.ahrc.com and/or www.onthecommons.us.
Don't be fooled. These guys KNOW it has been all about MAKING UP ACCUSATIONS TO FILE LAWSUITS, MAKE MONEY AND FORECLOSE ON INNOCENT PEOPLE!
Is it re-election time?
