Senator Brubaker Responds to Governor's Budget Address

HARRISBURG – State Senator Mike Brubaker (R-36) issued the following statement after Governor Rendell's address to the General Assembly today regarding his 2008-2009 budget proposal: 

"Today marks the beginning of the 2008-2009 budget process, the starting point of many months of discussion and negotiations to develop a fiscal plan that truly works for this Commonwealth. I was interested to hear the Governor's ideas this morning; however, I also believe it is important that every line item be scrutinized to make sure it provides clear and cost-effective benefits to the citizens of Pennsylvania. 

"I plan to be actively engaged throughout the process and look forward to hearing constituent feedback and working with my colleagues in the General Assembly and the administration over the coming weeks and months."
