Jim Pillen, the GOP candidate for governor, and the likely winner on Election Day is talking up his plan to cut property taxes.
It’s all part of a new Pillen TV commercial, an ad that is raising some questions, sending mixed signals.

On one hand Pillen says he “will,” cap local government growth at two percent.
But in the next breath, arguably anticipating a fight in the Legislature, Pillen adds that getting that cap, "won't be easy”, in other words some wiggle room if he doesn’t get it done.
The Pillen campaign has not responded to NCN’s requests for comment.
