Gov. Josh Shapiro announced his second budget proposal earlier this month. He did not seek large tax reform in his budget proposal. Instead, Shapiro touted his budget as a balanced budget that does not raise taxes. While the governor's budget would not raise current taxes, it would create a new revenue source by legalizing and taxing recreational marijuana. Pennsylvania's neighboring states have legalized and begun taxing marijuana, including Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. Shapiro noted that Pennsylvania is losing out on an estimated $250 million in revenue every year that it does not legalize and tax the industry.
