More of the Same? Governor Corbett's Next Budget

State Budget and Taxes

Governor Tom Corbett will release his second budget Tuesday, and if history is any indication, we can expect more of the same — more cuts to education and health services and more silence on corporate tax loopholes.

The Governor will deliver his state budget address to a joint session of the state Legislature at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. You can watch it live on PCN or follow the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center on Twitter as we live-tweet the speech.

We will have budget spreadsheets at the PBPC web site by midday Tuesday, followed by a preliminary analysis of the budget for most departments that evening.

And on Wednesday, we're hosting a 1 p.m. conference call on the budget. It's open to anyone who wants to learn more about the Governor's proposal, so join us if you're free.

We'll be back here tomorrow with more on Governor Corbett's budget.
