HARRISBURG \u2014 The Pennsylvania General Assembly sat 113 days past deadline to adopt a budget on Tuesday, and despite the Senate advancing a revised version of a prior proposal to the House, lawmakers will be no closer to striking a deal on the 114th day of the ongoing stalemate than they were on the first.<\/p>\n
State senators cast a party-line 27-23 vote \u2014 all Republicans in favor, all Democrats opposed \u2014 to return Senate Bill 160 to the House.<\/p>\n
