PA Governor to Restore Library Funding

Babylon Sister sent over some Good News for libraries in PA. Gov. Rendell today proposed a $25.4 billion state budget for fiscal 2006-07 calling for no new taxes, dips in business levies, and increased spending on libraries, education and children’s health-care programs.
Overall, the budget would boost state spending by $924 million, or about 3.8 percent. Two-thirds of the new dollars are earmarked for education.
“What I have proposed today is bold and far-reaching,” Rendell told a joint session of the House and Senate this morning. “It is necessary and vital for our future. And the good news is that it is affordable.”
