It’s Saturday evening and I am getting ready to leave Harrisburg. It is a difficult situation. The Senate’s budget has been in the House for 10 days with no action. The Democrats in the House have worked with the Governor to hold up the process. The Governor has not cooperated in the process. His objective is to hold the budget hostage until he gets his new programs. He has not been willing to put the state’s budget first, the state employees first, the state’s obligations in issuing permits, inspecting restaurants and performing needed functions for our economy first, he is selfishly more interested in getting his big government programs. I hope that he changes his mind soon before much damage is done.
