PA Senate Leaders Issue Statement on State Budget Progress
HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R-39), Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman (R-41) and Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Scott Martin (R-13) issued the following statement today on the 2026-27 state budget:
"While divided government naturally brings differing perspectives and objectives, it also creates an opportunity to find common ground and put the needs of Pennsylvanians first. Our Senate Republican Caucus priorities for this year continue to be that the final budget plan must be fiscally responsible, respect taxpayers, and position the Commonwealth for sustained growth. We are encouraged by the progress made to date and believe a budget agreement can come to fruition in the near future."
