For the last 90 days it is rich indeed. Schools districts and services are now in dire need of funds thanks to the GOP.

Pennsylvania is the only state in the country that has been unable to pass some form of a budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

Senate Republicans rejected the proposal, pushing for a balanced budget that wouldn’t dip into the commonwealth’s roughly $3 billion surplus or $7 billion rainy day funds. They also rejected a spending plan that passed the House in July that would have cut nearly $1 billion from Shapiro’s proposal.
