Pennsylvania lawmakers missed Tuesday’s state-mandated deadline to adopt a budget, but Republican leaders in the GOP-controlled state Senate say they are close to reaching a deal.

“We believe we are well on our way to effectuating a full budget agreement in the days following July 4th,” said Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward of Hempfield, Majority Leader Joe Pittman of Indiana and Appropriations Chair Scott Martin of Lancaster County in a joint statement.

Democrats in the House and Senate lashed out at their Republican colleagues for adjourning Tuesday without having a deal in place.

“They’re going to tell you that progress is being made and that it’s important that we allow time for members to go home for the weekend — by the way, it’s Tuesday, the weekend doesn’t start until Friday,” Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills, said during a joint news conference with Democratic leaders from both chambers.

“They are not serious about getting a budget done. They’ve been slow-walking this process for weeks and weeks,” Costa added.

This is the fifth straight year Pennsylvania has failed to adopt a budget by the June 30 deadline. Lawmakers have now missed the deadline 15 of the past 23 years.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans would go into specifics when asked what was holding up a budget deal.

“This week, we have received the necessary clarity on many outstanding issues which were delaying completion of this year’s budget,” Ward, Pittman and Martin said in their prepared statement.

While the House is scheduled to be in session on Wednesday and Thursday, the Senate will remain on recess until called to report back by Ward “once final budgetary language is ready to advance,” the Senate leaders said.

Otherwise, the Senate isn’t scheduled to return to session until Sept. 28.

The House passed Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposed $53.3 billion spending plan in mid-April — the earliest it had initially passed a spending plan in nearly a decade.

It has been in the Senate since.

That plan would require using about $4.6 billion in reserves to balance. That would eat up more than half of the state’s so-called rainy day fund, formally known as the Budget Stabilization Reserve Fund.

The House spending plan also relies on collecting revenue from three sources that have been debated in Harrisburg for years but have yet to gain approval. They include a projected $766 million from taxing and regulating video “skill” games, $729 million from legalizing marijuana for recreational use and $80 million from raising the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Republicans have been critical of what they see as exorbitant, deficit spending. For months, Democrats have called on Senate Republicans to offer up an alternative.

“We passed the budget in April — April. They haven’t done anything,” House Appropriations Chair Jordan Harris, D-Philadelphia, said during Tuesday’s news conference with Democratic leaders. “Here’s the thing: you don’t like our budget? Fine, send us one. They ain’t sent us one.”

According to the Office of the Budget, the state continues to operate all critical functions related to the health, safety and welfare of Pennsylvanians during an impasse. Most payments to vendors or grantees for programs or expenses incurred during the new fiscal year will not be processed until a budget is adopted, the budget office said.

The impacts become more pronounced the longer an impasse drags on.

Last year’s impasse lasted 135 days, delaying billions in state funding to schools, counties and nonprofits.

Many dipped into reserves or borrowed money to stay afloat, while others laid off workers or suspended or scaled back programs.
