The budget I signed tonight is more than a bunch of numbers on a spreadsheet — it delivers real solutions to the problems folks face every day. For the first time ever, we will invest $11 billion in K-12 public education — and 65% of the new subsidies for basic education will be driven out under a new formula that directs the funding to the districts that need it most. We’re funding almost 400 more new @PAStatePolice troopers to keep our communities safe, while making a 40% increase in violence intervention and prevention programs. This budget delivers economic opportunity with massive new investments in economic development. From a new $20 million initiative for our Main Streets, to millions in marketing to drive our tourism industry — and from innovating on our farms to making an unprecedented $500 million investment to create shovel ready sites, this budget delivers real opportunity for businesses and workers all across Pennsylvania. We’re continuing our commitment to cutting costs for seniors and families — giving them more freedom and more opportunity to succeed in this economy. We created tax credits for parents trying to afford childcare or saving up to put their kid through college, cut taxes for folks paying interest on their student loans — and for our neighbors in Western PA who got government assistance following Norfolk Southern’s train derailment, you won’t be taxed for those payments. We’re delivering unprecedented funding for Pennsylvanians with intellectual disabilities — and beginning the process of finally ending the waitlist for the services they need. We’re creating the first ever Alzheimer’s Disease Division in our Department of Aging, and we’re finally making pads and tampons free and available in public schools, so no girl has to miss days of learning just because she’s on her period. Bipartisanship requires compromise. But in a productive democracy, this is how progress is made. Here in our Commonwealth, we’re moving past the partisan politics, having real conversations, and getting stuff done for the good people of Pennsylvania.
