REGISTER HERE! Join us for an informative conversation about the state budget and opportunities to take action! We'll be taking a closer look at the priorities Governor Josh Shapiro outlined in his proposed 2025–26 state budget and be joined by Senator Nick Pisciottano, who was elected last fall to represent the people of Allegheny County in the 45th Senate district! Space is limited, so RSVP today to get your the Zoom login link for the meeting! PPC's executive director Marc Stier and policy analyst Castin Stone will highlight some of the budget's key features, particularly funding for education, health care, and other vital services as well as how to raise the revenue to fund these priorities. We'll also hear Sen. Pisciottano's thoughts about the proposed budget, his own budget priorities for 2025, and how budget negotiations might proceed, particularly in light of how Trump's threatened cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs could wreak havoc on the state budget and Pennsylvania's economy.
