Pennsylvania is following in the footsteps of CaliforniaΒ β saving money for future potential economic crises.
On Thursday, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that the state had deposited $22 million to its Rainy Day Fund.
βThis deposit into the Rainy Day Fund helps stabilize our budget for the first time in nearly a decade,β Wolf said, adding that the $22 million in savings exceeds the pre-budget estimate of $14 million.
Furthermore, Wolf stressed that today, Pennsylvania is βbetter equipped for fiscal stability than it has been in the past.β He said that the deposit to the Rainy Day Fund is βa nest egg that we hope to grow,β an βindicator of fiscal responsibility and stability" and a sign that the state has a bright future.
Pennsylvania Treasurer Joe Torsella praised Wolf for establishing a system to build a better future for the state. He emphasized that families know the importance of setting aside resources to prepare for tough times.
He also praised Wolf for βmoving our state finances in that same direction.β
Wolf Implemented a Variety of Savings Strategies
The governorβs administration has outlined different savings initiatives and implemented them over the past 3 1/2 years.
One of these initiatives is the Governorβs Office of Transparency, Innovation, Management and Efficiency (GO-TIME). Through this initiative, Pennsylvania immediately earned $100 million in annual savings. The state adopted smarter and more efficient procurement. In addition, it introduced more cost-saving measures such as contract renewal reductions and live, reverse auctions for contracts.
Some other cost-savings strategies by Wolf have included streamlining the stateβs mailing process and implementing inmate systems management at the Department of Corrections.
Wolf eliminated over $2 billion in costs in the stateβs General Fund as part of its 2017-18 budget. He also focused on reducing the size of the stateβs workforce and downsizing facilities.
Furthermore, he consolidated and merged HR and IT across state agencies. As a result, Pennsylvania realized a total of $2.2 billion in recurring savings.
