Earlier today, Governor Tom Wolf outlined his budget proposal for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. Senator Jay Costa is gave his take in a press release by his office this afternoon.

“I was very pleased with the Governor’s budget address. I believe it continues to capture what is important to the people of Pennsylvania by making investments in education, not only from pre-k but now from 0-3 year olds all the way up to the higher ed community and beyond. That’s important to us and that’s important to the people of Pennsylvania.”

“Quite frankly it’s unconscionable that Pennsylvania is the only state in the Northeast that has not raised its minimum wage. Our last increase was in 2006. At $7.25 it is unconscionable”
