HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania House is wrapping up budget season votes, a day after grinding to a halt over a critical education bill.

The Republican-controlled chamber returned to session Friday, two days from the annual deadline, working to send Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf the last of the bills that together make up a $34 billion compromise budget package.

Their first vote was to pass an education bill that had failed late Thursday, when dozens of Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in voting against it, but for different reasons. The vote was 160 to 39.

Wolf’s office says he’ll be signing bills later Friday.

No surprise. republicans are such passive aggressive little wusses. Not a full sack among the lot of them! Little punks.
Yep. Keep your ignorance out there for all to see Jethro! We know you're out there spreading your disease and twisting the truth. Don't you have possum to eat or something?
T2C don’t you have a parental guardian to monitor your posts since you seem to be a juvenile? You are rude insulting and vulgar like a child. If you are not a child you display traits of a low-intellect hater. You have no authority to insult anybody. Your punk like behavior reflects upon you, your family, your country, and your God. Possum brings back fond memories to me. On military exercise in SC I had a wonderful dinner under the stars all served up by a SF (Special Forces) instructor...of possum. It was great. It tasted like chicken. BBQ sauce would have made it better. Thanks for bringing it up. Possum is easy to catch. In daylight they rest. So if you can find the nest...all the better. Perhaps you should have gone in the military. You would have a greater respect for yourself and America if you would have put some, “skin in the game”, as President Obama said. Then your punk like behavior would have been suppressed, or, eliminated, to the satisfaction of your parents.
