Saccone Votes To Reform Pennsylvania’s Public Pension System
HARRISBURG — Rep. Rick Saccone (R-Allegheny/Washington) issued the following statement after the House voted 136-59 to pass a historic pension reform bill which will address Pennsylvania’s staggering nearly $60 billion pension deficit:
“Today, the House voted to reform Pennsylvania’s pension system – a system that has been bankrupting our state for decades. The bill we passed today will provide significant savings in the long run, for local property taxpayers and school districts, both of whom are suffering, without impacting current employees and retirees. While Senate Bill 1071 does not go far enough, it is an important step in the right direction.”
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
