Pennsylvania Tax and Spend Limits

November 7, 2005 |

“The Pennsylvania Senate just passed a bill limiting how much the Commonwealth can increase spending each year. Whether or not this bill moves through the House and makes it past Governor Rendell’s veto pen is quite another matter. Critics are already complaining that a budget cap would negatively affect citizens who rely on state handouts. One senator remarked that a cap was unnecessary because legislators should have a big say in the budget. ‘We should work to discipline ourselves.’ Is this the same ‘discipline’ that failed to keep them from unconstitutionally raising their own salaries?”

So says a short and sweet, new report from the Allegheny Institute on the spending cap proposal facing PA lawmakers.
