HARRISBURG – Senator Camera Bartolotta (R-46) issued today the following statement regarding the 2020-2021 State Budget proposal unveiled by Governor Wolf.

“This budget is completely disingenuous as the Governor claims there are no new taxes in his proposal. In reality, the budget features a laundry list of new taxes and fees with a total of $1.5 billion in new spending and more than a billion dollars in new borrowing – and he expects taxpayers to foot the bill.

“While Governor Wolf spoke about protecting our students, his actual proposal does the opposite by cutting $45 million from school safety programs. Ensuring this funding is restored and our students are able to learn in a safe environment is one of my top priorities.

“The fact that this funding was cut while the Governor advocates for policies to deprive citizens of their Second Amendment rights is unacceptable. Blaming law-abiding citizens for the misconduct of criminals who use firearms is not the answer. Instead of attacking citizens’ rights to bear arms, the Governor should be focusing on a budget that protects taxpayers from irresponsible spending and addresses skyrocketing school property taxes which continue to force our seniors out of their homes.

She has always been solid on 2A issues and has been to FOAC events as well.

She seems very solid. This next election is pivotal. Get out to vote.
