Pennsylvania budget moves to committee after House vote
After three days of debate the House approved a 16.3 billion dollar budget by 165 to 26, rebuffing Gov. Ridge on education and a government plan. The Senate favors a different version and is expected to reject the House plan next week, sending it to a six member conference committee.

Senate approves GOP budget plan
The Senate backed the GOP budget 53 to 46 mapping a road to a 2002 surplus while House conservatives split, 216 to 211, over a temporary deficit rise. The plan aims to cut Medicare, Medicaid, welfare costs and expand a child tax credit, with defense spending rising slightly and tax cuts deepening beyond Clinton’s proposals. Senate leaders defended the compromise amid GOP dissent and Democratic opposition.
