HARRISBURG – The state House on Wednesday approved a $28.3 billion no-tax-hike budget, increasing education funding by $100 million and directing millions more to the disabled.
The 108-92 vote, after five hours of debate, kicks off three weeks of talks with the Senate and the Corbett administration to arrive at a final spending plan.
“This budget is a blueprint for good governance,” said House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R., Allegheny). “It does not increase taxes, and provides the highest level of education funding and provides for the most vulnerable.”
