One of the primary responsibilities of our Commonwealth is the maintenance, repair and construction of our core transportation infrastructure, especially our state roads and bridges.

 

The plan that I have created to improve our infrastructure would be a no new taxes, no new debt, no new spending, no new tolls and no lease of our turnpike to a foreign-owned company, common sense answer that families and businesses of our state would choose to enact.

 

The plan calls for a 10 percent reduction in the welfare budget through efficiency changes, fraud and waste reduction, which would provide $1 billion for our core infrastructure. The10 percent plan offers a solution that protects the taxpayers of Pennsylvania and does just what any family or business must do when faced with necessary expenditures and constricted income: Prioritize spending. 

Moving able bodied individuals from welfare to work will enable us to move prior spending from welfare to roads.
