HARRISBURG – Rep. Karen Boback (R-Lackawanna/Luzerne/Wyoming) issued the following statement after Gov. Tom Wolf announced on Wednesday afternoon that he would allow the final piece of the 2015-16 state budget to become law:

“This is good news for our schools, universities, agriculture programs, such as Penn State Extension and 4-H, hospitals and other programs that have had their funding held up by the governor’s line-item vetoes back in December.

“I am very pleased the governor has chosen to allow the budget bill to become law. It is the right thing to do for the taxpayers of this Commonwealth, and it allows us to focus 100 percent on the 2016-17 state budget, which is due by June 30. I am hopeful this year’s budget process will be completed in a more timely fashion.”
