PHILADELPHIA - Some neighbors and families in South Philadelphia want to get to the bottom of dog waste that is being left behind daily."Watch out for the dog poop!

Watch out for the dog poop!" said one parent who wishes to remain anonymous. "Parents are always talking about how their kids are stepping in dog poop every day.

It’s just hard to always dodge it. There’s so much, it kind of becomes a gauntlet."Nancy Armstrong told us the pet waste is usually along Federal Street and S 10th Street next to Capitolo Playground.We asked: "Have you stepped in it, or any of your family members?""My kids do, and then don’t always realize and then track it in the house," said Armstrong. "I have two young boys who run around and have to always be careful, and because it’s disgusting.

It’s bad for people’s health, it’s ugly and it’s gross."Her son Isaac, 7, said it’s been hard to dodge during their walks to and from school and to the playground."I keep seeing it.

Tax revenue should be growth friendly – IMF
COLOMBO (News 1st); The International Monetary Fund said that Sri Lanka must increase tax revenue in a growth friendly manner. Peter Breuer, the Senior IMF Mission Chief for Sri Lanka, told reporters that the current economic crisis has a number of origins including the governments' inability to meet government spending needs through revenue collection and Sri Lanka is among the countries that collect the least amount of fiscal revenue in the world. He said that Tax Reforms are badly needed to correct the imbalance, and only with appropriate tax receipts will the government be able to fund essential expenditures, and avoid further slashing critically important outlets. "These reforms will also help regain the confidence of the creditors, so that in the future they will once again finance the gap between revenue and expenditure," he said.Peter Breuer further said that it is important that those who can afford it may commence contributions to the financing of necessary government expenditures."The tax package the authorities have introduced including the new tax rate schedule for Personal Income tax helps to meet the objectives. The tax rates proposed under the authorities program are also inline with similar countries who are contributing to Sri Lanka's support package, through the IMF," he said."So it is important to remember that there are many countries who have income levels comparable or may be less than Sri Lanka with much higher tax rates.
