A Pennsylvania State Representative is taking action to address a lack of Santas.
State Representative Jonathan Fritz wants to offer a tax credit for businesses hiring Santas, or for Santas themselves. According to a report from the Pennsylvania Capital-Star, Fritz said he wants to do this due to a shortage of Santas this year.
"Santas help create lifelong memories—from photos with children, riding by on a fire truck during a parade, or leading a gift exchange at a work party—and they are an indispensable holiday tradition for many Pennsylvanians," his memo read, in part.
He has approached some colleagues about this proposal, but has yet to introduce legislation. Should Fritz introduce a bill, it's unlikely to pass before Christmas.
