Pennsylvania budget framework back in place | Pennsylvania
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) A two-day whirlwind of accusations, counter-accusations and a threat to override Gov. Tom Wolf's veto of a short-term spending bill yielded no firm assurances Tuesday night that Pennsylvania's five-month budget stalemate would end soon.
Wolf's office on Tuesday night said Republicans were guilty of "theatrics" in calling back the Senate into session and threatening to override the Democrat's Sept. 29 veto of a four-month spending bill.
It reiterated his call for a budget by Dec. 4, but made no mention of a deal to replace one that had collapsed in recent days.
"Talks continued with Republican leaders tonight and will take place in the coming days," Wolf's office said in a brief statement.
Earlier Tuesday, Wolf hammered Republicans, saying leaders of the commanding House and Senate GOP majorities could not secure enough rank-and-file support for a sales tax increase they had proposed because their ranks include too many "who just want to blow things up."
"The ball is in the Republicans' court," Wolf told interviewers Tuesday morning during a regular appearance on Pittsburgh radio station KDKA-AM.
For a couple hours Tuesday afternoon, negotiations hit another wall over pension legislation, Republicans said, prompting their threat to override Wolf's veto. After a hasty meeting with the governor, Senate leaders emerged, saying that a new "framework" of a budget agreement was in place and that work would continue on the details.
Votes were possible next week, Senate officials said.
To get by without state aid, school districts, counties and social services organizations have laid off employees, delayed services, let bills pile up or taken out hundreds of millions of dollars in loans. Counties have begun looking into ways to withhold tax collections from the state, or even suing the state. On Tuesday, Standard & Poor's slapped Luzerne County with a steep credit downgrade and Bucks County said it would stop forwarding about $4 million to the state in payments collected on real estate transfers, court fees and other transactions.
Only Pennsylvania and Illinois are operating without state budgets.
The latest effort at securing a budget deal, as outlined by Republicans on Tuesday, involved little in new details. A spending plan of more than $30 billion, up from about $29 billion last year, would include an increase of $350 million in public school aid, or about 6 percent, as a gesture to Wolf's efforts to whittle down disparities between Pennsylvania's poorest and richest school districts.
Meanwhile, the deal included two gestures toward Republican policy pursuits: a substantial reduction in the traditional pension benefit for public school and state government employees, and the shattering of state government control over retail wine and liquor sales.
A cash package of approximately $600 million to support new education spending and to narrow a long-term budget deficit could include higher excise taxes on cigarettes, new excise taxes on smokeless tobacco products and the elimination of some exemptions or perceived loopholes in the sales tax.
It also could include near-term savings from refinancing the state's pension debt a move that increases long-term costs and issuing new licenses for private-sector wine or liquor sales.
Under the pension changes, future state government and public school employees would get a new 401(k)-style benefit, but a smaller traditional pension benefit. Republicans had sought the complete elimination of the traditional pension benefit entirely, but Wolf opposed it.
In addition, licensed beer distributors would have the opportunity to sell wine and liquor, while grocery stores could buy licenses to sell wine. Wolf had opposed the complete shuttering of state wine and liquor stores sought by some Republicans.
An earlier deal, first floated two weeks ago by Wolf and Republican majority leaders, unraveled in the last few days. The sides, however, quarreled over why it unraveled.
Wolf said Republicans told him Friday that they could not secure enough rank-and-file support for a 21 percent sales tax increase that they had proposed as the linchpin to a budget deal and a $1.4 billion school property-tax rebate package.
Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, insisted the sides were entrenched over dueling plans on which school districts should benefit the most from the property tax rebates.

Immigration Patterns of the Early 19th Century
The first great wave of immigration began in the 1820s during a period in American history that witnessed expansion, innovation, and the beginning of a modern society. The United States offered hope with the prospect of prosperity and security for many Europeans struggling with the post Napoleonic period. Although thousands came from the British Isles, this first great migration of immigrants represented the Irish and the Germans.Irish Immigration Patterns in the Early 19th Century
The great potato blight in Ireland created intolerable living conditions as famine swept the land and the British Parliament refused to address the problem. With few options, the Irish crossed the Atlantic by the hundreds of thousands, arriving either in Canada or port cities in the Northeast such as Boston. Unlike the German and Scandinavian immigrants of the same period, the Irish were unskilled and thus forced to find employment near the large northern urban centers.
Irish immigrants helped build the new nations infrastructure and ultimately contributed significantly to the Unions cause during the Civil War. Mass Irish immigration also introduced a broader presence of Roman Catholicism. Although Catholics had a presence in America since the Maryland colony was founded in 1634, by 1838 there were over 800,000 Catholics in the United States led by twelve bishops and 433 priests. [1]
German Immigrants in the Early 19th Century
German immigrants were skilled craftsmen and farmers, coming from Middle Germany in the late 1840s and 1850s. Settling in states like Missouri and Illinois, Germans fled Europe in the wake of the Revolutions of 1848. German-Hungarians, for example, settled by the Empress Maria Theresa in the mid-1700s on the Hungarian frontier, moved to the Chicago area. Many of the German immigrants also brought Catholicism to America.
Earlier German immigrants during the Colonial period had been predominantly Protestant. Members of Pietistic groups like the Moravians, Amish, and Mennonites had settled in Pennsylvania and were known as Pennsylvania Dutch, a misnomer attributed to the German word Deutsch (meaning German). In the early 1700s, Germans could also be found in the Carolinas and Georgia, notably near Savannah. German contributions during the American War for Independence were many and large numbers of British mercenary soldiers such as the Hessians either stayed when the war ended or made provision to return as immigrants.
Reception of Immigrants by American Society in the 19th Century
The arrival of so many immigrants created massive problems in Northern cities. The Five Points district in New York City spawned the cholera outbreak during the presidency of Andrew Jackson which led to stereotyping immigrants by middle class and wealthy Americans. Emerging slums further exacerbated sanitation concerns and produced irrational fears. Xenophobia caused a backlash, especially against the Irish.
By the 1850s, strong nativist feelings led to the formation of the American party, often referred to as the Know-Nothings. Believing that low-wage earning immigrants would take away jobs and fearful of the perceived authoritarianism of Catholicism, Know-Nothings attempted to pass strict laws restricting immigrants. No Catholics, for example, could run for office in those jurisdictions controlled briefly by the nativists.
Legacy of the First Great Immigration Migration
Both Irish and German immigrants helped forge the new nation precisely at a time when innovation, creativity, and labor were needed. Germans like Horace Mann in the 1830s and 1840s reformed American education. Carl Schurz, a founder of the Republican Party and a refugee of the 1848 Revolutions in Europe, became a national leader, championing Abraham Lincoln, crusading for party reform after the Civil War, and strongly opposing American imperialism at the turn of the century.
Similarly, Irish immigration produced men and women that would lead the nation. President John F. Kennedy could trace his roots back to the first wave of Irish immigrants coming to Massachusetts. Immigrants made the United States a nation out of many.
