Luzerne县议会审查了一项拟议的减税法令,让开发商利用LERTA方案重新开发受损财产,要求就工作、工资和福利提出详细预测和年度报告。 Luzerne County Council reviewed a proposed tax break ordinance for developers using the LERTA program to redevelop blighted properties, requiring detailed projections and annual reports on jobs, wages, and benefits. 开发者支持这一目标,但对为投机项目收集数据的可行性提出了质疑。 Developers supported the goal but questioned the feasibility of data collection for speculative projects. Penn东北部的John Augustine认为,如果没有LERTA,项目就不会发生,因此实际税收损失可能为零,因此敦促将重点放在增税增益上。 John Augustine of Penn’s Northeast argued that without LERTA, projects wouldn’t happen, so actual tax revenue loss may be zero, urging a focus on incremental tax gains instead. 安理会成员强调,提交报告对问责制和透明度至关重要。 Council members stressed reporting is vital for accountability and transparency.
