HARRISBURG – Sen. Judy Ward (R-30) issued the following statement today regarding Governor Shapiro’s 2025/26 budget proposal:
“The budget proposed today by Governor Shapiro is short-sighted and irresponsible. Instead of a budget that puts us on sound financial footing, we were given one that spends more than it makes, is based on unrealistic estimates, and leaves our Rainy Day Fund and General Fund balance completely empty in less than two short years. We cannot continue on this path, expecting taxpayers to bail us out through increased taxes. Rather, we need to get to the work of tightening our belt and living within our means just like the hard-working families that we are called to represent.”
