Budget Hearings Begin Tomorrow

The Pennsylvania House and Senate Appropriations committees will begin budget hearings, tomorrow, Feb. 19, to review the governor’s budget proposal and to discuss the plan with various agencies and departments, reports state Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

Governor Tom Corbett presented his $28.4 billion budget proposal before a joint session of the General Assembly last week.

Among the first to testify include the Department of Revenue, the Department of Environmental Protection and the Pennsylvania State Police.

A full House hearing schedule, as well as live streams of hearings, will be available at www.pabudget.com.

The hearings will continue through the first week of March to ensure all state departments and agencies are provided an opportunity to testify and to allow members to ask questions regarding proposed allocations in the 2013-14 spending plan.
