![Wolf’s Budget Proposal is Out of Touch with Constituents, Gleim Says]()
HARRISBURG – In another attempt to shift the public conversation from his failed vaccine distribution to anything else, Gov. Wolf today used his annual budget address to propose the highest Personal Income Tax hike in Pennsylvania history, said Rep. Barb Gleim (R-Cumberland). This budget is a non-starter. It not only raises taxes on middle-class Pennsylvanians, small businesses and critical infrastructure, but there is also no plan to get back to normal or what normal will look like. He gives a break to big business in a 1% Corporate Net Income Tax (CNIT) reduction, and taxes the small business community.
