Pennsylvania Senate reconvenes for unusual August session as 2-month budget stalemate continues
Fox News
The Pennsylvania Senate reconvened for an unusual August session as a two-month budget stalemate with the Democratic-controlled House continues.
Neither bill has the agreement of House Democratic leaders. The House is not scheduled to reconvene until after a Sept. 19 special election that is expected to restore the chamber's one-seat Democratic majority.
Lawmakers in early July passed the main spending bill in a $45 billion budget package, but it only reached Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro's desk after a partisan fight over creating a new $100 million program to send students to private schools.
