"I am hopeful that recent economic news, combined with the aggressive efforts of the Obama Administration, will soon lead to a brighter future for Pennsylvania and our nation," said the Governor as he noted the nearly $18 billion Pennsylvania expects to receive through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act over the next few years that will advance Pennsylvania's efforts to achieve energy independence, improve public schools, keep property taxes stable, lower the cost of and increase access to health care, and make needed investments in infrastructure.

"As we work to realize that recovery, we need to take steps now to ensure that Pennsylvania is positioned to emerge stronger than it was before," said Governor Rendell. "My budget proposal does that. It's a plan to put hundreds of thousands of people to work, to provide affordable health care across our state, and provide much-needed tuition relief - all in the coming year. I urge the General Assembly to recognize the need for prompt action and that is why I have called on them to accelerate the traditional pace of budget negotiations.

"Citizens of this state need jobs and health care -- and they cannot afford to wait."
