The Area's Top Politicians Talk Show for the 11th Year Volpe Report BUDGET DEJA VU? f FOX 56 SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM With just six weeks left for Pennsylvania to come up with a spending plan for the 2024-25 fiscal year, there is strong indication that the June 30th deadline to have a budget in place could end up late, like it's counterpart of one year ago. At odds again this year in both chambers of government is basic educational spending, as lawmakers must address a court's ruling that the state violated the Constitutional rights of Pennsylvania students by underfunding it's public schools. Republican House Appropriation Chairman Seth Grove, (R-196) returns this week to The Volpe Report, Sunday at 10:30a.m. on FOX 56 for the second part of the Show dealing with the budget. House Democrats favor a proposal in the Governor's tentative budget to increase basic education spending by $11. Billion. However, Republican support for a private school voucher program- a proposal widely blamed for last year's budget delay when Governor Josh Shapiro reneged on his campaign promise-is just as strong as ever going into next month's negotiations. The Governor said in his budget address that he supports the program, though he vetoed it from last year's budget and it was not included in his budget proposal Representative Grove will also be discussing, among other things, a proposed reduction in the personal income tax from 3.07 percent to 2.8. percent Seth Grove The Area's Top Politicians Talk Show for the 11th Year Volpe Report BUDGET DEJA VU ? f FOX 56 SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM With just six weeks left for Pennsylvania to come up with a spending plan for the 2024-25 fiscal year , there is strong indication that the June 30th deadline to have a budget in place could end up late , like it's counterpart of one year ago .
