Corbett To Make Budget Address Today

Gov. Tom Corbett is scheduled to unveil his proposed state budget in a public address before the Pennsylvania House and Senate today at 11:30 a.m.

While there will be some things to look forward to (Corbett will honor Norristown firefighter during the ), some lawmakers and residents are awaiting what they consider the bad news – expected cuts to education and the Department of Public Welfare (DPW).

“What particular lines are impacted, we’ll have to wait until the governor’s budget address to see, exactly, but it will be a bare-bones type of a budget presentation,” Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi told NewsWorks.org. “I don’t expect to see new programs or new spending of any sort.”

You can watch the budget address live at 11:30 a.m. on the governer's website.
