Pennsylvania State Budget Toolkit

Governor Corbett's proposed budget of $28.4 billion in general fund spending and $67.6 billion in spending from all funds represents our highest spending levels ever—exceeding years when federal stimulus dollars inflated total spending.  This budget, however, still reflects a reduction from 2010-11 spending levels when adjusting for inflation.
