Indeed, due to the break, the sign could not be changed back until employees returned to work on December 26. In October, one sign in Sacramento read “F– yeah dude”.
Gov. Tom Wolf is expected to make an announcement on the scaled-back proposal from Republicans that cuts out much of the increased spending for education and social services he had hoped for, sources tell CBSPhilly. Wolf made a statement saying that his administration will continue to work with the federal government to properly screen and resettle Syrian refugees in Pennsylvania.

They were greeted by his sister and sponsor, Tima Kurdi, and a small crowd of well-wishers waving miniature Canadian flags. Until their flight to Canada, he had yet to even meet his youngest child, who was born after the family separated.

So far, the two governments have not confirmed the issues to be discussed at the FS-level talks. Critics in both India and Pakistan were quick to point this out last week.
“I am expressing the outrage that all of us should feel about the garbage the Republican legislative leaders have tried to dump on us”, said a visibly angry Wolf.

The budget bill does not provide schools, counties and human services agencies with money to pay for the millions it has cost them to borrow money while the stalemate has persisted. Last week, Republican leaders walked away from a historic bipartisan budget agreement and passed an irresponsible budget so they could return home to their districts and take holiday vacations. It includes hundreds of millions less than what Wolf wanted for schools and social services. “This budget is wrong for Pennsylvania”. That plan would require up to $1 billion in unspecified tax increases. The plan called for $30.8 billion in overall spending, including the $350 million boost for schools. The legislature left for vacation without passing appropriations bills for state-related universities. The Republican budget is not balanced and will grow the commonwealth’s multi-billion dollar deficit. I had worked patiently and persistently with Republican leaders over the past many months to agree on a compromise budget.
