Budget Hearings

Earlier this month Gov. Ed Rendell delivered his budget address to the members of the General Assembly. In the upcoming weeks, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees will be holding a series of hearings to discuss the details of the budget. I encourage citizens to actively participate by attending the Capitol hearings. The hearings will run through March 5 and can be accessed at www.pasenate.com. They will also be broadcast by the PCN television network.

The budget hearing schedule is as follows:
