One of the primary responsibilities of our Commonwealth is the maintenance, repair and construction of our core transportation infrastructure, especially our state roads and bridges.

I have also proposed to reduce the Department of Public Welfare budget by 10 percent, through efficiency changes and fraud reduction, and utilize the approximate $1 billion in savings for our core infrastructure.

The 10 Percent Plan would improve our infrastructure with NO new taxes, NO new debt and NO additional spending. Pennsylvania’s taxpayers have had enough of their incomes redistributed to pay for someone else’s health care, bus fare or excessive public welfare.

I am also a co-sponsor of House Bill 2020, the Infrastructure Future Fund Act, which would designate all proceeds from the privatization of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to the improvement of the Commonwealth’s roads and bridges. It is estimated that selling the state’s liquor stores could bring in as much as $1.6 billion in one-time revenues.
