Rep. Wendy Fink (R-Red Lion) has voted against a $47.6 billion state budget proposal, issuing a statement expressing her concerns about the financial implications for residents of District 94.

“I will not support a budget that puts an additional and unnecessary financial burden on the residents of District 94. When the state continues to spend more than it has, we set everyone up for massive tax increases in the very near future. This budget will see the state’s reserves and Rainy Day Fund depleted in two years,” Fink stated.

Fink highlighted the struggles faced by her constituents, mentioning rising property taxes and inflation as significant issues affecting their ability to afford basic necessities such as food and medication.

“I have constituents who are losing their homes to ever-rising property taxes, and some who cannot afford food and medication because of skyrocketing inflation. These are necessities,” she said.

She emphasized her opposition to overspending and criticized new programs that create recurring expenses for the state government.

“I will not support overspending. State government does not need new programs that create recurring expenses and more bloat. Some of these programs may seem good, but the money to pay for them will come directly from the pockets of Pennsylvania taxpayers who are already struggling with the cost of living. Our children and their grandchildren will be left to pay for the mistakes made today,” Fink added.

For questions regarding the 2024-25 state budget or other state-related issues, Fink's office can be contacted at 717-244-9232.
