HARRISBURG – Senator David G. Argall (R-Schuylkill/Berks) released the following statement regarding his vote in favor of a plan to fund state government for the remainder of the 2015-16 fiscal year:
“This budget plan gives funding needed by school districts, hospitals and the agriculture community, along with several other areas that were vetoed by the governor in December. Most importantly, unlike other proposals, this plan does not jeopardize our ongoing bipartisan efforts to eliminate school property taxes, which is by far the number one issue for the residents of Berks and Schuylkill Counties.”
