BudgetWatch Express Lighter

Dear Friends of the Coalition:

 

As the budget season kicks into high gear, the Urban Affairs Coalition (UAC) is pleased to present, "Budget Watch Express," as a part of UAC's commitment to advocacy and keeping you informed! Budget Watch Express is a scan of the most relevant articles from around the state representing the diversity of views that citizens of the Commonwealth hold about this year's State Budget and its impact on life in Pennsylvania. We will be sending this new e-newsletter out every two weeks, and we hope that you'll find this publication of value. However, if you'd like to opt out, please unsubscribe below.

 

Thank you and let's continue to advocate for a fair budget in 2012!
