Today, Governor Wolf gave his annual budget address to a joint session of the General Assembly. In the Governor’s budget, he calls for increases to health and human service line items; however, some of his requested increases are included in a supplemental appropriations bill, which is a piece of legislation that is separate from the traditional June general budget and budget code bills. RCPA reacted to the Governor’s budget proposal by releasing this statement.

Additionally, RCPA is working with the Wolf Administration to schedule a specialized budget briefing for RCPA members. Questions, please contact Jack Phillips.
