Gov. Scranton rejected Democratic charges that he manipulated state books to mask a 22 million general fund deficit and warned the deficit could grow to 345 million due to heavy public assistance claims. He said there will be no deficit and noted past revenue shortfalls. He outlined possible funding gaps and said the Highways Department borrowed 25 million from the general fund.

The press conference covered more than two dozen topics in his first 10 days in office.
