Hi John,
Last week Governor Wolf proposed an audacious and forward-looking budget plan for 2021—one that will increase school funding, increase the minimum wage, and lower taxes for working families . Not surprisingly, PA House Republican leaders have already come out in opposition to the proposal.


These are exactly the types of reforms I mean when I say “common sense before politics,” and there is no excuse for failing to pass measures that would undeniably benefit the vast majority of Pennsylvanians.


How the Governor’s plan benefits working families & small businesses most impacted by Covid-19:
*
A
$240
Million
Tax
Cut
for
more
than
400,000
business
owners *
64%
of
small
business
owners
earning
less
than
$100,000
will
pay
the
same
or
less
in
taxes



*
A
$1.5
Billion
Tax
Cut
for
2.8
million
working
families *
A
family
of
4
making
up
to
$50,000
will
pay
no
state
income
taxes
(up
from
$32,000)
*
767,000
additional
families
will
pay
$0
in
state
income
tax





Day in and day out, Republican leaders have refused to allow votes on critical legislation while forcing through dangerous bills. The glaring contrast between what our Commonwealth needs and what it actually gets was never more apparent than last year, when only 27 of the 140 bills passed by the legislature addressed the pandemic.

As my colleagues and I advocate for a bold plan that will help people across Pennsylvania, the Republicans continue to bury their heads in the sand.


Please stand with me in supporting commonsense progress in PA. [[link removed]]
