Details are emerging on the 2011-12 state budget deal recently reached by Pennsylvania's legislative leaders and Governor Tom Corbett.
Much like earlier proposals, this budget plan includes deep cuts to education, health care and other cost-effective local services, while leaving much of a $550 million revenue surplus untouched.
The agreement, which will be voted on in the coming days, cuts the current state budget by nearly $1.2 billion, setting spending at $27.149 billion for the 2011-12 fiscal year. The new fiscal year begins on Friday, July 1.
PBPC is reviewing the line-by-line funding details now and will have a more detailed analysis tomorrow. Check our web site throughout the day.
