Pa. Legislature passes $28 billion budget bill

HARRISBURG, Pa. - June 30, 2010

The 117-to-84 vote on the appropriations bill in the waning hours of the fiscal year Wednesday means the state is poised to enact the first on-time budget of Rendell's eight years in office.

The bill passed the state Senate earlier by a vote of 37 to 13.

The deal boosts spending over 2009-10 by less than 1 percent.

It wasn't immediately known how soon the legislation would be signed by the Democratic governor.
