Melissa Brewer for State Representative | Brewer for PA

Believes Pennsylvania should change school funding to reduce property-tax burdens on local taxpayers.

In a candidate interview response on district priorities, Brewer wrote: “Property tax reform and affordability are pressing issues for the residents of my district. I believe Pennsylvania needs to determine a better way to fund public schools while alleviating the burden on local taxpayers.”

Suggests expanding budget-hearing opportunities and moving the state budget process earlier in the fiscal year.

Responding to a question on enacting the state budget on time, Brewer wrote: “The Governor typically presents the budget in February with legislative committee hearings to follow. The legislative calendar dictates when appropriations committee work commences. I would suggest the legislative calendar afford greater opportunities for these hearings and perhaps consider shifting the budget timeline early in the fiscal year to allow for more time for this work.”
