HARRISBURG – Senator David G. Argall (R-Schuylkill/Berks) released the following statement regarding Governor Wolf’s 2016-17 state budget address:
“Here we go again…more tax increases proposed by the governor. At this rate, I’m afraid that this debate could go on for years. When will the governor realize that this is not a Republican vs. Democrat fight? His calls for higher taxes simply do not have the support of most Pennsylvanians, especially those in Berks and Schuylkill Counties.
“His budget proposal threatens ongoing bipartisan efforts in the Senate to eliminate school property taxes. His tax increases, without an elimination of the school property tax, are a bad deal for our taxpayers.”
