Governor Tom Wolf gave his third budget address this morning to a joint session of the General Assembly.  He made it clear that there will be no broad-based tax increases in his 2017-2018 budget.  

He said he intends to close the $3 billion budget deficit with a combination of $2 billion in increased efficiencies and cuts, and $1 billion in new taxes (eg. natural gas drilling).

With this being Wolf’s first budget in the two-year election cycle leading into his reelection efforts it is more important than ever that his budget goes smoothly and makes a strong case that he deserves another four year term.  

So the question for you readers is this: Do you approve of Governor Wolf’s budget proposal?
