[45 Pa.B. 6112]
[Saturday, October 10, 2015]Notice of Veto September 29, 2015
To the Honorable Senate
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 15 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, I am returning herewith, without my approval, Senate Bill 1001 Printer's Number 1233.
This bill implements the temporary General Appropriations bill by amending the Fiscal Code for the 2015-16 fiscal year. As I will veto the General Appropriations bill, I will also veto its implementation.
A partial budget fails to provide the long-term investment in Pennsylvania's future that this Commonwealth needs. As a result of the irresponsible budgets of the last administration, our schools and human services providers have been left without adequate funding, and Pennsylvania is facing a multi-billion dollar deficit and further credit downgrades.
The people of Pennsylvania deserve more than an incomplete and inadequate budget. They sent us here to do serious work, and we need a budget that both invests in our future and fixes our deficit.
For these reasons, I cannot support this bill and withhold my signature from Senate Bill 1001 Printer's Number 1233.
Sincerely,
Governor
