School districts across the state have had to borrow at least $900 million in total in order to stay open.
“I am expressing the outrage that all of us should feel about the garbage the Republican legislative leaders have tried to dump on us”, Wolf said, quickly reading through a statement.
In the release, Wolf said, “This budget is wrong for Pennsylvania”. The bill, which resembled a GOP budget plan that Wolf rejected at the end of the fiscal year in June, would have left a budget hole of more than $2 billion by the end of the next fiscal year. Wolf said that decision came out of a desire to continue negotiating toward a final budget that provides a full year’s worth of funding – and fulfills his call for $350 million in new education spending.
After Republicans in the State Senate threw their support behind a $30.3 billion spending plan written by House GOP leaders, it is now up to the first-year governor to decide its fate.
The governor implored lawmakers to return to Harrisburg and “get back to work…”
Wolf rejected the Republican budget that he said cuts $95 million from education and is out-of-balance, while directing emergency funding for key services.
“Let’s get back to work to finish the job you nearly finished last week”, he said. “I’m also vetoing other items that they don’t pay for”, Wolf said. That higher budget contains an additional $377 million in education funding. The budget they concocted doesn’t have enough revenue to leave any room for doing anything to increase funding for our state universities over 2014-15 levels.
In that compromised bill, Republicans got cuts in taxes and spending.
