Budget Done; Awaiting Rendell's Signature

The state Legislature has finished passing the bills that make up the new $28 billion state budget.

They wrapped up the budget work today, as both the Senate and House were in session.

The final votes included a promise to work on a Marcellus Shale natural gas extraction tax and a fiscal office, as well as $600 million in capital projects borrowing.

Governor Ed Rendell says he plans to sign the budget bills on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Harrisburg area and at other locations throughout the state.
