From PEF President Wayne Spence on April 28, 2023 — “PEF has been following the budget negotiation process closely and is pleased that the Governor and the Legislature have reached a conceptual agreement on a final state budget. While there are no budget bills in print yet, the PEF Legislative Office will be monitoring developments over the weekend and reviewing budget bills as they become available. Working with the Governor and our partners in both the Senate and Assembly, PEF is confident that this budget will build upon the union’s successes resulting from the “Fund Our Future” campaign, including securing significant and important reforms to the state’s civil service system. PEF will issue an analysis on the final enacted budget at the earliest possible opportunity.”
