CLEAR Coalition Rally for a Responsible Budget
|
|
| For over a year the PPFFA has been part of a coalition of other public and private sector unions as well as the AFL-CIO called the Coalition for Labor Engagement and Accountable Revenues, the CLEAR Coalition. Its goal is to promote a sustainable state budget that protects the working men and women of the Commonwealth. The CLEAR Coalition realizes the need for responsible government, but does not believe a cut only approach is the answer to the states financial issues such as the proposed massive cuts to education and the elimination of necessary programs to support our brothers and sister across Pennsylvania.
The CLEAR Coalition does not advocate for more taxes on individuals, but does support the creation of a fee on Marcellus Shale and stopping the unfair practice by businesses that incorporate in Delaware to avoid paying state taxes, leaving the burden to small business owners and working families of the Commonwealth.
On May 3rd, the coalition will be holding a rally on the steps of the Capitol in Harrisburg. The CLEAR coalition will be providing bus transportation and lunch for our members who will attend from around the state. These buses will depart the Pittsburgh region from both downtown and the South Side. Space is limited. The buses will arrive in Harrisburg for the rally which begins at 1PM. You can go to www.clearforpa.org to sign up for the departure location nearest you.
