GOP budget plan risks veto over no tax increase
Pennsylvania Republicans move to finalize a 30.1 billion dollar budget with no tax hikes, relying on surplus revenue and liquor privatization. Governor Wolf opposes the plan, calling for a 2.6 billion spending increase funded by taxes, as Democrats flag over 1.5 billion in one time stopgaps. The House Appropriations Committee approved the measure on party lines ahead of a potential government shutdown.

Pennsylvania lawmakers push privatization of wine beer sales plan
A GOP led effort in Pennsylvania moves toward privatizing wine and liquor sales, with Sen Charles McIlhinney saying the plan could add about 220 million dollars annually to the state treasury. The proposal would levy higher license fees on nearly 14 000 beer license holders and require a sales based fee from wine and liquor wholesalers. The plan aims to close a 1.3 billion dollar deficit while boosting public school funding by 100 million, but lacks a property tax cut plan. Details on financing and bill drafting remain uncertain as House and Senate negotiators work toward a draft.
