I’m proud to report that the General Assembly has passed a bipartisan $50.1 billion state budget, now awaiting the governor’s signature.
This plan delivers real results for Pennsylvanians by:
✅ Protecting taxpayers – Cutting nearly $1.4 billion from the governor’s proposal without raising taxes or using the Rainy Day Fund.
✅ Eliminating the RGGI energy tax – Preventing higher electricity costs and protecting Pennsylvania jobs.
✅ Investing in education – Increasing funding for Basic Education, Special Education, Pre-K, and the Educational Improvement Tax Credit program to give families more school choice.
✅ Supporting our farmers and workforce – Boosting funding for food assistance, avian flu monitoring, and workforce training.
✅ Reforming the permitting process – Streamlining approvals to encourage job growth and economic investment.
After months of negotiation, we’ve reached a fiscally responsible solution that invests in our schools, workforce, and farmers—all while protecting Pennsylvania taxpayers.
