Pennsylvania's state Senate voted Wednesday to pare back a Depression-era law that allows Philadelphia to impose a commuter tax on suburban residents. The bill passed, 28-21, with every Republican and one Democrat backing it. However, it likely faces a chilly reception in the state House of Representatives, where Democrats have a one-seat majority. Under the bill, Philadelphia would lose the authority to impose a wage tax on people who work from home, even if they work for employers located in the city.
