Pa. Governor Expected To Make Budget Announcement Tuesday

HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS/AP) --  Pennsylvania's state government has been operating without a budget for nearly seven months, but that could soon change.

Sources tonight tell Eyewitness News that Governor Tom Wolf expects to sign part of a budget plan that has been on his desk since Christmas Eve.

Wolf will still be looking over the budget throughout the night and is expected to veto parts of it.

The Democrat is considering what to do about an appropriations bill that authorizes hundreds of millions less than what Wolf wanted for schools and social services.

He can sign it or veto it, and he can also eliminate any of the individual spending items in it.

After a bipartisan budget compromise stalled last week, the Republican-controlled Senate sent the bill to Wolf in an effort to get money flowing to schools and social service agencies.

It also lacks some supporting legislation and funding for state-related universities, including Penn State.

Governor Wolf is slated to make a full announcement about the budget Tuesday at 10:30 am.
