At a press conference this afternoon, Gov. Rendell said the tax vote by House Democrats Friday night was "a step back," but remains optimistic a budget agreement is close.
"I understand what the members have done, I understand the point that they were insisting that they make yesterday. But doing a budget is not about making points, it's not about setting out markers, it's about compromise and it's about shared pain.
"Its future is no doubt is in serious question in the Senate and that means it's a step back."
He said he planned to meet with Senate Republican and House Democratic Leadership on Sunday.
