Pennsylvania's budget follies

We used our editorial page today to point out that Gov. Tom Wolf's move to allow that GOP budget plan to become law does not exactly get Pennsylvania out of the woods when it comes to its fiscal health.

And we're not the only ones.

This morning Moody's is out with a report that says the budget deal does little to solve the state's two pressing issues - a growing deficit and mounting problems with its two large public employee pension plans.

In other words, the clock is now ticking toward the next Pennsylvania budget drama. The deadline for the state to have its spending plan in place is July 1.

Anyone else think they won't meet the deadline?

Yeah, I thought so.
