Rainy day fund debate ensues as Pa. budget deadline looms over lawmakers
Pennsylvania faces a budget deadline as Governor Josh Shapiro's plan proposes a 5% spending increase and projects depletion of the rainy day fund within two years, contrasting with other states cutting spending. House Democrats support the plan, while Senate Republicans resist, amid debates over revenue projections and reliance on uncertain funding sources like marijuana fees.
