PA Budget Impasse Continues
Pennsylvania schools, nonprofits, and local governments are suffering due to the state budget being nearly four months late. Meanwhile, lawmakers are continuing to raise campaign funds.
“even when the gears of the government grind to a halt, the machinery of institutional corruption continues.” - Michael Pollack
“if legislators spent as much time on a budget as they do on golf courses, drinking beer in Ireland, and throwing parties for themselves, we would be running a surplus.” - Eric Epstein
Epstein also stated that the legislative body “lacks adult supervision” and suggested that lawmakers should not be paid during a budget impasse. It is the responsibility of Pennsylvania's governor and full-time legislature to pass a budget.
