Pennsylvania finally has a budget deal. After 11 weeks that included payless paydays for state workers and tremendous devastation to county agencies that were forced to cut hours, lay off and borrow money and tap reserves to survive, there is a handshake agreement. While the details are still being worked out on the $27.9 billion spending plan, it will not raise broad-based taxes, such as the state personal income tax but will include higher taxes on cigarettes and about 100,000 businesses. This spending plan is down almost $400 million from last year's budget. Further information will be posted as it becomes available.
