AFP-PA Statement on State House Budget Proposal
HARRISBURG, PA – Today, Americans for Prosperity-Pennsylvania (AFP-PA) rebuked House Democrats’ plan to increase state spending, calling the “compromise” an irresponsible increase that would destabilize the state’s fiscal outlook.
Emily Greene, AFP-PA state director, gave the following statement:
“This proposal fails to solve Pennsylvania’s structural deficit and will eliminate our rainy-day fund in no time. House Democrats owe it to their constituents to explain why they’d rather balloon our spending deficit than pass a responsible budget to end this 100-day stalemate.”
Background:
AFP-PA supports the Responsible Budgeting Act, introduced by State Representative Tom Jones, which is designed to end yearly budget impasses and bring fiscal discipline back to the Commonwealth. The bill sets a clear spending limit tied to the state’s economic growth, ensuring government cannot expand faster than taxpayers’ ability to sustain it.
