PennFuture Let’s Talk Green

Our legislators have been working full time in Harrisburg to negotiate our state’s budget – aka how our state plans to spend its revenues and our taxpayer dollars over the next year.

In Pennsylvania, each new state budget carries with it some great funding opportunities for our environment and natural resources, while it often includes not-so-great provisions as well. There are a lot of critical issues and programs that need funding, including restoring and protecting our waterways, ensuring voting access is equitable for all Pennsylvanians, catching up on the backlog of mine cleanup projects, and ensuring that environmental justice communities get dedicated funding.
