Governor Tom Wolf will make his budget address late this morning in Harrisburg.
Wolf said he will not ask for new taxes or seek increases in current tax rates for operating expenses, but he will call again for a Marcellus Shale severance tax, with the funds to be used for his “Restore Pennsylvania” program, which includes spending for floodwater control, rural broadband, emergency management, and blight.
State Representative Jim Struzzi said he expects a “hard year, budget-wise.”
