(Harrisburg, Pa.)  Rep. Aaron Bernstine (R-Butler/Beaver/Lawrence) today voted “no” on the state budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Bernstine issued the following statement regarding his negative vote.

“As Pennsylvania families struggle with record inflation and rising prices of gas and groceries, I will not support a state budget that spends 10.7% more than last year. Taxpayers deserve fiscal responsibility from Harrisburg during these difficult economic times. Unchecked government spending only paves the way for future tax hikes and more reckless borrowing.”
