After 134 days, Pennsylvania finally has a budget.
The budget impasse has come to end after Governor Josh Shapiro signed the budget just before 3 p.m. Wednesday.
The $50.1 billion budget agreement saw compromises from increased spending to the ending of Pennsylvania’s bid to join the RGGI program.
The budget also does not touch the $7.5 billion rainy day fund, includes reforms to the state permitting process, and sees an increase in education spending. There are no increases to transit spending as well.
The budget would also reduce reimbursements to cyber charter schools and see $500 million spent on the poorest schools in the commonwealth.
The budget passed through the legislature with bipartisan support in the house and senate.
