The View From Harrisburg: Time to Act!

This afternoon the Pennsylvania House – with support from Democrats and Republicans alike – voted for a “NO TAX INCREASE BUDGET.”

The House could vote for the Senate budget as early as Tuesday morning.

It is crucial to call your Representative now to avoid deep cuts in services for low and moderate-income children and families. Tell him or her to--

Vote for a budget that:

Maintains services for low- and moderate income children and families;

Takes a balanced approach to solving Pennsylvania’s budget crisis, one that relies on revenue from the Rainy Day Fund and a temporary tax increase.
