State Budget Held Up Until Senators Return
(Harrisburg, PA) - Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is urging the state Senate to return to session in Harrisburg to sign off on the state budget. He also wants the Senate to work with the House to pass legislation that will direct how money in the budget bill can be spent. The governor additionally has refuted GOP accusations that he went back on his word on the 45-billion-dollar spending plan. Republicans who control the Senate haven't scheduled another session until September, which means the state budget could be held up until then.
