HARRISBURG – Rep. Karen Boback (R-Lackawanna/Luzerne/Wyoming) issued the following statement after the governor addressed the Legislature and unveiled his 2017-18 budget proposal:
“Today’s budget address by Gov. Tom Wolf was the starting point for the 2017-18 budget process, and I was encouraged with his overview on cost-saving measures for the Commonwealth. I am encouraged by his recognition of our state’s deficit and believe we can work together to craft an equitable budget.
“As we proceed with budget hearings, I will be asking for more details about the governor’s proposal through my role on the Appropriations Committee. This is a responsibility I take very seriously, and I will be critically analyzing all aspects of this budget to ensure we provide necessary services to all Pennsylvanians without raising taxes. Today, Gov. Wolf showed the Legislature a commitment to working with us to create a fair budget and I look forward to the conversations that lie ahead.”
