Pennsylvanians Face Higher Debt as State Budget Fails
The AP reports Pennsylvania faces rising interest costs as Gov Shafer's budget fight stalls approval. The state may issue about 200 million in short term tax anticipation notes with interest over 10 million, unless a 5 percent ceiling is lifted. Delays affect coal milk drugs and other supplies, with 41 million in bills due. Local governments seek higher ceilings to borrow, while officials push Senate action this week to raise rates to seven percent for a year.
