Shapiro's 1st Pennsylvania budget to focus on schools, business taxes

that found Pennsylvania’s school funding system violates the constitutional rights of students in the poorest districts.

Shapiro also has said he wants to be a cheerleader to attract new high-tech firms and slash the state's corporate net income tax rate by more than half by 2025, a move that would save businesses billions of dollars. That pledge comes as Pennsylvania competes for a federally funded hydrogen hub and tries to attract the kind of multibillion-dollar battery plants and microchip factories that other states are landing.

All told, Shapiro's budget plan for the 2023-24 fiscal year that starts July 1 is likely to exceed the current fiscal year's $42.8 billion approved budget. He has said he will seek no tax increases. Whatever Shapiro proposes will require approval from the Democratic-controlled House and the Republican-controlled Senate.In addition to boosting school funding, Shapiro has said he wants to put a mental health counselor in every school building and pump more money into subsidies for child care, local civic improvement projects, university research on cutting-edge manufacturing and STEM programs in schools.

By now it should be clear to everyone that the Republican Party is set on destroying our Country! Every one of these Republican’s took the oath with their hand on the Bible to protect and defend the constitution! When your words mean nothing then there’s no honor!

Question... How does additional school funding equate to better outcomes? The feds gave the state billions for education, and testing still dropped. Teachers have changed ACT scores to CRT scores as a determination of achievement. Let's begin teaching how to work together.

Gonna be funny that a jewish governor singlehandedly revives Catholic schools

Pa is doomed on so many levels.
