HARRISBURG – In another attempt to shift the public conversation from his failed vaccine distribution to anything else, Gov. Wolf today used his annual budget address to propose the highest Personal Income Tax hike in Pennsylvania history, said Rep. Barb Gleim (R-Cumberland). This budget is a non-starter.

He gives a break to big business in a 1% Corporate Net Income Tax (CNIT) reduction, and taxes the small business community.
