As Pennsylvania’s budget blues continue, Governor Rendell has announced his plan to get paychecks to state workers and some vendors.
Rendell says he will monitor the progress of a House-Senate budget conference committee, but he says if there’s no significant progress by Monday he’ll ask the House -– controlled by members of his party -– to send him Senate budget bill #850, a budget measure he despises:
“I will take 850 and I will line out everything that is not essential to the operation of the government itself. I will sign it, and sign it into law. Let me be clear that this is not a final budget.”
Instead, the governor calls it a “bridge” that will allow state workers and some vendors to be paid.
