The judge overseeing Harrisburg, Pa.’s receivership put on hold the local income tax increase she ordered last month, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. Commonwealth Court Judge Bonnie Leadbetter agreed to reconsider her order at the request of city council members. Lawyers for the council and for the state-appointed receiver who is advocating the tax increase must file court papers laying out their positions later this month. A hearing will be held Oct. 4 if Judge Leadbetter decides to hear more from both sides.
