The "PA WORKS" proposal unveiled Wednesday would spur financing for small businesses, consolidate an array of job-training programs, increase and expand the job-creation tax credit and overhaul the state's corporate tax laws.
The Democratic senators, who are in the minority, say the proposals would be financed largely by tapping a half-billion-dollar balance in the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
It also would once again slow down the scheduled phase-out of the state's Capital Stock and Franchise Tax to free up $80 million.
