Gov. Tom Wolf’s latest proposal to ease some of the economic pain that the coronavirus has inflicted on businesses across Pennsylvania is not being widely accepted as the right medicine.
Wolf is proposing to transfer $145 million from Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Security Fund, a fund that ensures injured workers receive workers’ compensation benefits, and place it into the general fund for the General Assembly to decide how to distribute as either grants or loans to businesses.
