(Harrisburg) -- Mayor Linda Thompson has released the details of a fiscal recovery plan for the debt-saddled capital city. Thompson says her plan contains roughly 75 percent of the so-called Act 47 plan that was drawn up by state-appointed advisers and rejected by city council. In part of the other 25 percent of her plan, the mayor calls for a so-called commuter tax as a last resort as she works to gain concessions from the city's bondholders. "Remember, everyone involved, all the parties, including city council, were listened to, and they helped shape this plan. Everyone is included in this plan, but not everything everyone wanted is possible," Thompson says. Her comments were posted on the Roxbury News Website. City council members are expected to vote on the plan in the first week of September. The Dauphin County Commissioners issued a statement saying they were "encouraged to see a plan similar to the Act 47 plan," adding they would carefully evaluate it. The county guaranteed much of the city's $310 million debt related to its trash incinerator.
