* No, not ours. Pennsylvania’s…
The nine-month-long Pennsylvania budget impasse is over.
In a news conference on Wednesday, Gov. Tom Wolf said while he won’t sign the Republicans’ $6.6 billion no-new-taxes spending package, he won’t veto it either.
That means it will lapse into law on Sunday, and complete a $30 billion budget.
“To allow us to move on from the problems that have plagued 2015-16, I am going to allow this bill to become law,” he said.
But while making the announcement, the Democrat criticized the spending plan, saying “This budget doesn’t work. The math doesn’t work, and that’s a real problem. But we need to keep our commonwealth working.”
So, we’re the last state without a budget. Hooray!
…Adding… Heh…
I think he should shave his head.
