Municipal Fiscal Health Still in Danger

The Coalition for Sustainable Communities helped pass SB1321 – Act 133 – which put back a well-established provision of Act 47 that requires arbitrators to consider a municipality’s fiscal condition when crafting an arbitration agreement between municipalities and their employees.

Now it's time to build off this progress by addressing two primary issues that are at the core of municipal distress.

1. The binding arbitration process
2. The municipal pension system

Pension and binding arbitration reform can help secure the fiscal sustainability of our municipalities. Without such reforms our local governments will continue to reduce services and raise taxes as they struggle to meet the basic needs of their residents and businesses.
