(Lancaster, PA) The mayor of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is voicing concerns about the state budget delay, warning it could impact the over 58-thousand people living in the city. Lawmakers missed the June 30th deadline for the fourth year in a row. Mayor Danene Sorace says she’s closely monitoring both the state budget and the federal transportation, housing, and urban development budget coming before Congress today (7/14), noting that both have significant implications for the city of Lancaster. Governor Josh Shapiro said the state budget talks are making progress and expects a deal soon.
