HARRISBURG – State Rep. Barry Jozwiak (R-Berks) today issued the following statement after Gov. Tom Wolf announced he would allow the supplemental budget approved by the General Assembly to become law without his signature:
“I am pleased the governor plans to release state funds for schools, agricultural programs and other important state services. This is very good news for the school children, farmers and other Pennsylvanians who will benefit from these funds. The state will invest additional dollars in our schools and other programs without increasing the burden on Pennsylvania taxpayers.
“There’s really no time to celebrate these developments. Now that the current state budget is closed, it is important for the General Assembly and governor to transition the focus to the upcoming budget that is due in June. I hope the governor will be more willing to work with us as we tackle the next state budget.”
