The Legislature's Surplus

During the budget impasse, which lasted 101 days or 25% of the fiscal year, the Legislative Audit Advisory Committee stated on June 30 there was a surplus of $201 million! Why then wasn't this public money used to help balance the budget. Instead $87 million was used by the lawmakers themselves in the form of per diem's to maintain their operations. Don't fear, the budget for this year restores $67 million so the surplus at the years end will be $181 million! These lawmakers should not be worthy of our votes. This only shows the need to break from past leadership practices and our out-of-touch politicians. This is why I am running
for a seat in the Pennsylvania State Legislatures 115th District. This seat has been held for the last 25 years by The Honorable Edward Staback.
