The current fiscal year is based on a 1.6 percent increase in revenue. A 4 percent increase would push the state's overall tax collections past $30 billion for the first time. On Tuesday, Corbett proposed a $29.4 billion in spending, up more than 3 percent.
In the meantime, this year's tax collections were slightly behind expectations at the end of January. The rate of job growth in Pennsylvania has slowed every year since Corbett became governor in 2011.
