Social-service advocates gathered outside Piatt Place, the Downtown building where Gov. Tom Corbett has a regional office, to protest the governor’s proposed budget and urge him to use of an existing rainy day fund to ensure that funding for social services remains level.
Organized by the group Just Harvest, an organization that promotes economic equality, and the We Are One Coalition of Western Pennsylvania, an umbrella group of organizations dedicated to helping the needy, the rally attracted about 70 people who called for “SOS-squared,” or “Save our Services and Spend our Surplus.”
