Governor Shapiro’s Promises

On helping kids escape failing schools: “I’m for making sure we add scholarships like Lifeline scholarships” – Josh Shapiro, 9/17/22
On education: “I want to … protect what we have on EITC and add more on those scholarships.” – Josh Shapiro, 10/3/22
On high energy costs: Two days before Thanksgiving, Gov. Shapiro announced he will use taxpayer resources to fight for a carbon tax (known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) in court. The carbon tax will cost Pennsylvanians an estimated $800 million in electricity bills and undermine the reliability of our electrical grid. Shapiro is quietly embracing his predecessor’s radical policy. About one year earlier Shapiro told voters, “I have real concerns about the impact [RGGI] will have on consumer prices, hurting families.” – Josh Shapiro, 10/17/22
On corporate net income tax: “I want to take us from 9.99% … to 4%.” – Josh Shapiro, 10/28/22
On permitting reform: “Josh will set short and clear timelines for permits and applications … and guarantee that a business receives a decision within that established time.” – Josh Shapiro, 7/25/22
On expanding telehealth access: “Josh will also expand telehealth services, strengthen the pipeline for health care providers in under-served areas…” – Josh Shapiro, 11/2/22
