$11B budget package passes Pennsylvania Legislature

$11B budget package passes Pennsylvania Legislature

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — An $11 billion no-new-taxes spending package won passage in a lame-duck session in Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled Legislature, as lawmakers sought to plug a multibillion-dollar deficit brought on by the pandemic. A coronavirus outbreak in the House of Representatives caused hours of delay Friday before the spending bill passed both chambers. Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, will sign it, his office said. Most Democrats opposed it, reflecting unhappiness with using federal coronavirus relief aid to underwrite state government costs, rather than provide hazard pay to frontline workers and to aid universities, schools, hospitals, restaurants and businesses and institutions. Public schools, universities and many programs will have to get by without an increase in funding.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Pittsburgh’s most dominant defensive performance of the season kept the Steelers perfect. Terrell Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted two passes each and the Steelers steamrolled their way to 10-0 with a 27-3 win in Jacksonville on Sunday. Rookie quarterback Jake Luton looked lost most of the day against the Steelers, who allowed just 206 yards and finished with two sacks. They celebrated each turnover by running into the end zone and posing for the cameras. Ben Roethlisberger and Co. gladly shared the spotlight with one of the league’s most disruptive defenses.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated pitcher Trevor Williams and utility player José Osuna for assignment.

Williams went 31-37 with a 4.43 ERA in 106 career appearances in Pittsburgh but struggled in each of the last two seasons.

Why Do 85% of Lottery Winners End Up Broke? The Relationship Between Financial and Personal Growth. Find Out More This Tuesday From Tom Young.

(Beaver County, PA)  Even wise old King Solomon from the book of Ecclesiastes exclaimed “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity”.  The ancient ruler realized that at the end of the day, even being a wealthy king was meaningless without personal enrichment.  In this month’s presentation, Tom Young from 1st Consultants, Inc. in Beaver will delve into the importance of achieving personal growth and change, so as to create a lifestyle and an outlet to maximize one’s assets.  It’s a fact, many people who become instantly rich by winning the lottery, oftentimes end up worse off than they were before their “good fortune”. The reason is simple, they didn’t change or grow as person, and had no greater capacity within themselves to manage, or use the money for good.

Tom’s one hour program will feature dialogue that will help you learn more about personal growth and how to find ways to develop into the person that can properly handle and administer great riches.  You’ll hear Tom expound on why personal growth, and change over time isn’t an option. It happens to everyone. The difference is choosing to become the right type of person and training for it along the way to achieving affluence. Don’t miss it!
