We’re a little over a month away from Governor Tom Wolf’s final budget address in Harrisburg.
Wolf says this could be a “magical year” when it comes to the budgeting process as Pennsylvania currently sits on a significant surplus.
Between higher-than-expected tax revenues and federal funding, both parties hope the flexibility helps the negotiating sessions.
Both Democrats and Republicans believe education is an area that stands to receive more funding next fiscal years.
Normally negotiations pick up in June with a budget passed early July.
