Pennsylvania’s new 911 cell phone tax is paying off. Pennsylvania’s Emergency Management Agency says the tax brought in more than 97 million-dollars in the second quarter of the year. That’s five-million more than expected. The tax increased the 911 service fee on cell phones from a dollar-65 to a dollar-95. PEMA Director Randy Padfield said the money is earmarked for Pennsylvania’s current 911 systems, as well as the plan to upgrade the system.
