Representative Falzone has fought for a balanced approach to dealing with our current economic downturn, and the budgetary crisis it has created, by tapping into the rainy day fund, utilizing federal stimulus money, cutting the size of state government, and enhancing the resources taken in. His priority has been to ensure that the communities get the aid they need to reduce the pressure on property taxes and that seniors and those with disabilities, who are so dependent on fixed incomes, have the capacity to sustain themselves against increasing government levies.
