HARRISBURG – Rep. Jonathan Fritz (R-Susquehanna/Wayne) issued the following statement after the House voted on Friday to send the 2017-18 budget bill to Gov. Tom Wolf’s desk in advance of the midnight deadline.
“This budget bill represents compromise and restraint on the part of both legislative bodies, as well as the administration. We worked relentlessly to limit the increases in spending. We are putting forward a bill that does not include any broad-based tax increases while responsibly investing in education, restoring cuts to the school district transportation fund and properly accommodates our counties. House Bill 218 is a reflection of our state’s priorities under lower-than-predicted revenues. This is a responsible budget that respects the taxpayer and Pennsylvania’s families.”
