STATEMENT: GOVERNOR WOLF’S BUDGET PROPOSAL DRAWS A LINE IN THE SAND

HARRISBURG (February 3, 2021) – Jan Jarrett, Executive Director of Better Pennsylvania, made the following statement in response to Governor Tom Wolf's 2021-22 budget address:
 
“We applaud Governor Wolf for a bold proposal that meets the unique moment we find ourselves in. From pushing for a long-overdue increase in the minimum wage to investments in workforce development and small business assistance, to an historic increase in funding for public education and tax cuts for working families, this is the kind of bold investment in our communities that will help Pennsylvania rebuild, rebound, and move towards a better future.
 
“Now is not the time for our leaders to hesitate. We cannot reverse the health and economic devastation left in the wake of a global pandemic with a tepid response from our elected officials. Governor Wolf is drawing a line in the sand, and we can only hope that Republican leadership in the General Assembly will be willing to join the governor, in the spirit of bipartisanship, to make these pragmatic investments that their constituents and their communities so badly need.”
