“There is no support in the Republican Caucus for a personal income tax increase,” a succinct Republican Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-Delaware) told members of the press today, in reaction to the news that Governor Rendell’s re-done budget proposal will call for a 3-year .5% personal income tax increase. Along with Appropriations Chair Jake Corman (R-Centre) and President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson), Senator Pileggi expressed little surprise that the governor’s new proposal, which is expected to be released today, attempts to find balance through an additional tax rather than even greater cuts. Given the wide gap remaining between both sides with only two weeks to go before the June 30th deadline, Senator Pileggi acknowledged at this point that he does not see the budget being passed by that time.
