Governor Tom Wolf said this afternoon he will allow an appropriations bill to complete this year’s state budget to become law without his signature. The Democratic governor said he does not believe the final budget is in balance, and so will not sign his name to it. But he said he will allow it to become law so the state can “move on to face the budget challenges” of next year. This means that schools will stay open through the end of the year. But he says that unless Harrisburg changes its ways, they won’t have adequate funds for next year. The budget bill will become law Monday, after Wolf does not act on it Sunday.
