(Harrisburg) -- Governor Corbett has signed a new law to make a state program better-equipped to deal with Harrisburg and other cities that fail to implement a fiscal recovery plan. But, state lawmakers are looking for ways to fix the old law designed to help all of Pennsylvania's financially-troubled cities. Local government experts say more cities across the commonwealth will find themselves in fiscally dire straits and the state’s Act 47 program needs to change if it’s going to help. Representative Chris Ross, a Chester County Republican, says one problem with Act 47 is that it can only prescribe plans. "There is no real force behind the idea of getting a financial rescue plan actually implemented," he says. "We have the ability to craft them, but how do we get them implemented, particularly when they’re politically difficult decisions?" The law signed by the governor allows state intervention in a certain cities, including Harrisburg, that have entered Act 47 but haven’t acted. Ross says changes to the program should address two other things that cause cities to be unable to support basic services: having too many tax-exempt properties and too few citizens.
