Shapiro’s Budget Wins Education, Misses Wage Boost | Harrisburg News
Description
Pennsylvania just passed its budget — a win for K-12 education and career training — but key issues like legalizing skill games and raising the minimum wage were left out. With the state’s wage floor stuck at $7.25 since 2006, business owners like Harrisburg bakery owner Zach Madar say fair pay matters — even if it strains budgets. Madar’s staff already earn near $15/hour, including tips. Governor Shapiro vows to keep pushing for a raise, despite Republican praise for the budget’s fiscal discipline. The fight’s not over — and the debate’s heating up.
