From an email received this morning from Rep. Smith's office:
State Reps. Matt Smith and Randy Vulakovich, both freshmen lawmakers from Allegheny County, are calling for a 20 percent reduction in the funding allocation for the General Assembly in the 2008-09 state budget.
In a letter they sent last week to House Appropriations Chairman Dwight Evans, the lawmakers said such a funding cut would help to restore the public’s trust, and would demonstrate that members of the legislature can be good stewards of public dollars.
“In my first term as a representative, I am looking for ways to reduce government spending in a responsible way that still allows the legislature to effectively serve the general public,” Smith said. “I believe that we can absorb a 20 percent reduction in funding and still meet the needs of the people we represent.
