You have a mandate to pass a state budget. This 4+ month and counting impasse is affecting the entire state economy and real people. While Governor Wolf has proposed budget compromises, the legislature’s Republican leaders have offered very little in return.
Why is this important?
I work hard everyday. Six days a week, I get up and go to work, and right now I feel like a fool. My whole life, I have been able to trust that generally, when you work, you get paid.
The PA budget impasse for the last 4+ months means that I don't know when I'm going to get paid for my work since last July 1. I'm not sure what to do. There seems to be no end in sight. Maybe I need to barter: speech therapy for a chicken? Speech therapy for fuel? Speech therapy for my insulin?
