Various sources are reporting there may be a budget agreement between Senate Republicans and House Democrats on an overall spending number of $27.9 billion. That's somewhat less than the $28.1 billion House Democrats put on the table at the Budget Conference Committee table on September 2 and more than the $27.5 billion Senate Republicans have been advocating.
It's not clear at this point where Gov. Rendell features in this agreement.
A press conference by the parties to the agreement is in the works for Friday morning and a Budget Conference Committee meeting is also rumored to be in the planning stages for Sunday.
Stay tuned......
Meanwhile House Democratic Leadership was forced to delay a vote today on the must have Philadelphia pension reform bill, but hope to have a vote tomorrow.
