Gov. Corbett's Final Mid-Year Budget Briefing: Memo from the Chair

By House Appropriations Committee Staff , | 9 years ago

Sec. Zogby presented the final mid-year budget briefing of Gov. Corbett's term detailing the challenges Governor-elect Wolf and the General Assembly will face balancing the upcoming budget. The administration was rather candid about Pennsylvania's serious structural deficit. Pennsylvania most likely needs more than $2 billion just to balance next year's budget. That figure does not include additional revenue necessary to begin restoring education funding and other harmful cuts.
