Brubaker Comments on Corbett Budget Address 

HARRISBURG - Sen. Mike Brubaker (R-36) offered the following comments concerning today's budget address by Governor Tom Corbett: 

"I am thankful that Governor Corbett kept his pledge to present a balanced budget that does not increase taxes or fees on hardworking state residents. The governor spent a great deal of time talking about right-sizing state government and not spending money that we don't have, and I strongly believe we should heed his call to control spending and create a more business-friendly environment to help create new jobs. 

"The governor proposed a number of cuts to state programs and agencies, and we will review the impact of these cuts during the budget hearing process in the next several weeks. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the coming months to protect taxpayers, deliver a responsible budget in a timely manner and make the difficult choices necessary to create opportunities for economic prosperity and job growth."
