Philly's tax amnesty program ends today

So get to paying your back taxes if you haven't already, slackers.

As of June 8 — about halfway in — the city reaped just $7 million from the tax amnesty program, though the goal is that it'll bring in $30 million. The city claims that the majority of the money will come in at the very end — which makes sense; the people who owe these taxes in the first place are, by definition, the worst kind of procrastinators.

The state got $261 million from its recent tax amnesty program — much more than its $190 million goal. Let's hope Philly can surpass expectations, too.
