Republicans Seek 100 Million Welfare Cut in Harrisburg
A group of House Republicans led by Richard McClatchy and Faith Whittlesey proposes trimming welfare spending from 736 million to 636 million next fiscal year. They argue tighter collection of support and income checks could save the gap, while opposing leaders doubt the $100 million figure. The plan aims to force reforms without delaying the welfare appropriation, with risks of a deficiency request if reforms fail.
