In case you missed it … Broad + Liberty  published a new op-ed last week from PA Chamber President and CEO Luke Bernstein outlining the several significant pro-business changes included in Pennsylvania’s 2024-25 state budget and recognizing state leaders (including Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward, Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman, and Governor Josh Shapiro) for their efforts in securing these important wins.

In the op-ed, Bernstein details key pro-growth reforms, including the elimination of Pennsylvania’s Start-Up Tax, the continued phasedown of the Corporate Net Income Tax, and the launch of the SPEED Program to streamline the state’s permitting processes. These reforms are poised to make Pennsylvania more competitive, attract new businesses, and drive economic growth. Bernstein also emphasizes the budget’s investments in workforce development, including funding for career and technical education and incentives for childcare expense reimbursement.
