Gov. Rendell today announced another $128 million in budget cuts, bringing the total funds in budgetary reserve to $439 million to help deal with an expected $1 to $2 billion budget deficit this fiscal year.
The Governor also said he would freeze non-union wages and begin negotiations with the state's union employees to achieve savings there as well.
“The detailed list of budget reductions is still being finalized, but the cuts will be broad-based across a multitude of agencies and programs. I expect nearly 400 out of a total of 500 appropriations under my jurisdiction will be reduced," said the Governor. (click here for more)
