Tax Deadbeat SEPTA, to have $22M bill wiped from books
Some real geniuses at work over there:
One of Philly's worst tax deadbeats, SEPTA, to have $22M bill wiped from books
Asked last week why SEPTA had never paid the tax bill, Gerald Maier, SEPTA’s real estate director, responded: “I thought we didn’t have to.”

I wonder if I can use that same excuse.

While it does take a source of money away from the schools, I believe SEPTA needs this. They're already strapped for cash, and as a regular SEPTA commuter I know they need significant improvements all around that will never come if they can't get ahead. Where to find the money that the schools need? I have no idea...
Finally!
SEPTA will replace two escalators at 15th Street

There's a whole lot of aspects of SEPTA that need funding - like making more stations handicapped accessible.
