Details on 2010-11 Budget Agreement
July 8, 2010
The General Assembly and the Governor have agreed on a 2010-11 state budget of $28.043 billion, which includes $25.3 billion in state dollars and $2.75 billion in federal ARRA funding. Total spending is increased by 0.7% from the amount available in 2009-10. The budget plan uses fewer state dollars than were spent in 2006-07.
The budget increases funding to meet mandated expenditures for public health care and corrections. It offsets those increases with cuts to numerous other services, including early childhood services, human service programs, environmental protection, agricultural programs, libraries and state parks. Governor Rendell has said budget cuts will require 1,000 state employee layoffs - and more job losses are likely to follow in local governments and the private sector as the ripple effect of these cuts are felt.
