Tioga County adopts resolution pressing state leaders to end routine budget delays
Summary
The Tioga County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution R-15-25 condemning repeated Commonwealth budget delays and urging the governor and legislature to return to session and enact a balanced budget to avoid fiscal harm to counties.
The Tioga County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution R-15-25 on Sept. 9, 2025, calling on the Governor and General Assembly of Pennsylvania to prioritize passage of a balanced budget and to remain in session until one is enacted. The resolution cites 15 missed budget deadlines since 2003 and states the cycle of delay "is detrimental to the welfare of Pennsylvania residents and communities."
The resolution says county governments and school districts meet their fiscal deadlines and that the failure of the Commonwealth to do so "places an unfair burden on counties." It urges members of both chambers to return to session and "collaborate in good faith to serve the taxpayers and counties they represent." The board adopted the resolution by a recorded unanimous vote and signed the document on Sept. 9, 2025.
