State Republican legislative leaders and Governor Tom Corbett agreed on a 2011-12 state budget deal that spends $27.2 billion, and on Tuesday, the state Senate approved it on a 30-20 party-line vote. The bill heads to the House of Representatives next.
Much like earlier proposals, this budget plan includes deep cuts to education, health care and other cost-effective local services, while leaving much of a $550 million revenue surplus untouched.
The Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center has done a line-by-line review of funding details and has a detailed analysis of the budget. Below is a table detailing funding levels by department.
