Shaffer: Budget Prospal Represents Opportunity for Solutions

February 5, 2025

HARRISBURG – Rep. Jeremy Shaffer (R-Allegheny) issued the following statement in response to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s $51.47 billion budget proposal for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

“I look forward to working with the governor and my colleagues in the state House and Senate to develop a budget that holds the line on taxes, encourages growth, and helps improve our schools and communities.

“There is much work to do, but I am eager for the opportunity to bring substantial changes to the fiscal approach of our state government and work to deliver a more sustainable budget for both the concerns of today and needs of tomorrow.”

The governor’s address is the beginning of the annual budgetary process. The budget will be thoroughly analyzed during three weeks of House Appropriations hearings beginning Feb. 18. For more information on the 2025-26 state budget, go to pahousegop.com.
