Our kids need help. We need to hear them, and act now. My budget invests half a billion dollars in mental health over the next 5 years, so that schools can fund mental health counselors and services on site. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
The first place so many turn to seek mental health care is our 988 hotline. My budget creates a sustainable funding source to ensure those centers are always staffed. When a Pennsylvanian needs help, there should always be someone to answer the phone. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
So many of our schools are unequipped to handle student mental health needs, and our counties lack the resources to be there when Pennsylvanians need them. We must put mental health front and center where it belongs. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
I’ve been inspired everywhere I go by the way young people today speak so openly about mental health issues, about their struggles, about the need for more mental health treatment. For too long, mental health has been an afterthought. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
So many parents of kids with intellectual disabilities and autism need help — but they're told to wait, because the government hasn’t funded this enough. My budget will open up 850 new spots for Pennsylvanians with disabilities, giving hundreds of families much-needed relief. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
Black women are 3x more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women. We can’t accept that. So for the first time, we’re going to put real resources into studying why it's happening — so that we can make concrete investments to address this disparity. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
How can we expect our kids to pay attention in class, learn, and succeed if they haven’t eaten all day? We can’t. That's why I want to provide free breakfast to every child in our public schools. https://t.co/LDG2tWuKIO — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
We must reject the false choice between protecting jobs and protecting our planet. I believe we can do both. We can embrace our role as an energy leader, create good-paying jobs, and fulfill our constitutional obligation to protect Pennsylvanian’s clean air and pure water. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
I've directed @PennsylvaniaDEP to draw down as much federal funding as possible to cap and plug orphaned and abandoned wells that dot rural Pennsylvania. Let’s plug the wells, improve our air quality, and strengthen our communities. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
More than 350,000 orphaned wells across our Commonwealth make up nearly 8% of our total methane emissions — warming our planet and contributing to air pollution that damages our lungs and our hearts. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
I demanded they pay to replace damaged equipment from local fire departments. I looked him in the eye and told him the people of Beaver and Lawrence Counties need at least $1 million for a community relief fund. That’s exactly what Norfolk Southern has committed to do. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
Norfolk Southern's CEO came to my office to apologize, and I laid out what he and his company must do to make up for their mistakes. They need to pay for this — and they are. I demanded the company pay for the work Commonwealth employees did after their derailment. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
We have a 64% recidivism rate. 64% of those who leave our prisons will go back, many of them for nonviolent parole violations. The first step in improving the system is investing in parole and probation services to reduce caseloads, improve training, and enhance services. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
The probation and parole systems were originally designed to help people get back on their feet and keep them out of prison. But that’s not what’s happening on our streets. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
Pennsylvania is one of only two states in the nation that provides zero dollars for indigent defense. That’s not a list we want to be on. Today, I'm proposing a $10 million investment in public defenders — this year and every year going forward. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
The cost of running our 911 system has gone up by 23% since 2016... ...but state funding to support it has remained flat. My budget invests over $50 million in that system — and ties that funding to the cost of living, so funding will increase as costs continue to rise. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
This is a win-win. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
My budget creates the Public Safety and Protection Fund — the PSP fund — which will be a dedicated funding source for our State Police. It's also going to slowly reduce our reliance on gas taxes by a hundred million dollars each year for the next five years. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
I’m proposing enough funding for four new cadet classes of the Pennsylvania State Police next year. That's nearly 400 new troopers who will protect and serve our Commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
For anyone who earns a new license or certification as a nurse, teacher, or police officer, or for anyone who has a license and decides to move to Pennsylvania for work: We’re going to put up to $2,500 back in their pocket every year for up to 3 years. https://t.co/tWlvuR4vPw — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
Let’s make it a little easier to become a trooper, a police officer, a nurse, or a teacher. My budget creates a new tax credit to encourage more Pennsylvanians to join their ranks. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
1 in 4 nursing jobs in Pennsylvania are unfilled. We’re short more than 1,200 municipal police officers. And we all know we don’t have enough teachers. If we don’t act now, these numbers are going to get worse. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
We have kids ready to learn and parents ready to work — we just need more teachers and professionals on the job. That’s why I’m proposing a $66.7 million investment in Child Care Works to give more parents access to stable child care for their kids. https://t.co/hkZv9HaZNd — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
Pennsylvania has nearly 4,000 unfilled child care jobs, and 38,300 children on waitlists. If those jobs were filled, nearly every child on that waitlist could have a spot. To hire those workers, we need to pay them a competitive salary and give them the benefits they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
Our state economy loses $3.47 billion a year because of a lack of child care options. And what’s really holding us back is that we don’t have enough child care professionals. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
In any given year, over a third of Pennsylvania parents report child care problems impacted their job. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
So long as I am your Governor, Pennsylvania will never be a right to work state. We’re going to protect our workers. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
$7.25 is not a livable wage in 2023. Our minimum wage hasn’t been raised in 14 years, and it’s lower than 30 other states. It is time to finally raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. https://t.co/og7XqMVlYp — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
I’m asking you to work with me to support our farmers and ag workers, and invest more in our agriculture sector. We have 52,000 farms, many of them passed down among families for generations. They need more access to capital, and we need to open up more markets for them. — PolitiTweet.org
Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro
For the first time ever, we’re going to put sustainable state funding into the Historically Disadvantaged Business Program. We’ll provide long overdue funding for women and minority-owned businesses across Pennsylvania. — PolitiTweet.org
