HARRISBURG, June 25 – State Rep. Frank Burns, D-Cambria, today issued the following statement regarding the passage of H.B. 790, the state’s general appropriations bill:

 

“As a fiscally conservative Democrat, I supported this no-tax increase budget that gets back to the basics by putting more money into education,” Burns said.

 

“It’s not just about spending more; it’s about spending smarter, so the dollars actually get into the classroom. Every child in every school deserves to feel safe and this budget increases funding for school safety.

 

“While I would have liked to see the surplus go back to the taxpayers, this was a budget compromise I support.”
