As Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf prepares to hand off the baton to Josh Shapiro (D-PA) in the coming weeks, he is opening up about his time in office, including his unsuccessful attempt to send out $2,000 stimulus checks to families.
Earlier this year, Wolf's administration reintroduced the so-called"PA Opportunity Plan," a $1.7 billion proposal he unveiled previously featuring $2,000 direct payments to households earning $80,000 or less, but the measure ultimately failed to clear the Republican-led state legislature.
“The money would’ve come from federal funds — it was free money, just send it out — and [Republicans] did not want to do that. But then, after the budget passed, and we had all this money, I said here’s another opportunity. Instead of using federal money, let’s use state money. We had plenty. It’s not like we had to raise anybody’s taxes," Wolf told ABC 27.
