It's budget week in Harrisburg and state lawmakers appear to be far from a deal.

Work by Pennsylvania lawmakers to complete a new budget is on track to blow through Monday’s start of the new fiscal year.HARRISBURG, Pa. — Work by Pennsylvania lawmakers to complete a new budget was on track to blow into the new fiscal year, with Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and top lawmakers still expressing optimism Thursday that closed-door talks are yielding progress, despite the missed deadline.

“I am quite confident that we have movement significant enough to allow the pieces of a budget puzzle to come together shortly after the constitutional deadline of June 30,” Pittman said. “We have had very productive, very honest dialogue and dialogue where every party involved understands that the only way we get this done is to compromise, and that is what we're working toward now," Shapiro said.The consequence of failing to get Shapiro’s signature on a new budget bill is losing some of the state's spending authority, particularly on discretionary payments, such as those to vendors, counties, public schools and grant applicants.
