GENERAL ASSEMBLY SUSPENDS WORK FOR SUMMER Given the measure of differences between Democratic Governor Tom Wolf and Republicans in the House and Senate over state spending and whether or not to levy additional taxes, neither House nor Senate will be in session for much of the summer. The House recessed July 22 and is slated to return August 25 unless recalled by the Speaker. The Senate concluded its work July 15 and will not return until September 21 unless recalled. Meanwhile Budget negotiations continue. Something that may reduce the chance of quick reconciliation between the two sides is a concerted advertising campaign launched by America Works, an affiliate of the national Democratic Governors’ Association blasting the Republican Budget -- House Bill 1192. The television spot is directed to constituents, saying that constituents should “Tell the legislature to get serious and pass a real budget.” There are also radio and mailer components of the media blitz.
