GOVERNOR SHAPIRO SAYS “BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL” WILL DO STAGGERING AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO PA

Governor Josh Shapiro says President Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” will do a “staggering” amount of damage to Pennsylvania.  In a post on social media, the Democratic governor said the GOP spending bill will take away health care and food assistance from hundreds-of-thousands in the commonwealth, and threaten 26-thousand jobs.  The measure to advance the bill passed by a slim margin in the Senate Saturday night, 51-49, with two Republicans joining Democrats in voting against it.  Shapiro said Republicans are trying to rush the bill through the chamber despite it being “harmful and unpopular.”
