Gov. Shapiro is expected to emphasize funding for school districts and making Pa. more competitive for tech firms
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania --
Shapiro's budget proposal comes as Pennsylvania keeps taking in robust tax collections, leaving it with $11 billion in reserve cash, even as it faces demands for more money for schools and social services and what Shapiro calls a workforce crisis.
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. 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.
