Well, i spent the day Walking Around in the capitol today and i can tell you that is not what im hearing now. In harrisburg, lawmakers are here, but a budget vote is still not on the agenda. Were a couple days from thanksgiving, going to have a budget before thanksgiving . I think its highly unlikely. The more realistic goal seems to be christmas. Reporter that would make almost six months without a budget, without payments to schools and social services approaching the Holiday Season in a cash crunch.

Reporter tells you something right there. The legislature will be in session today and tomorrow, and then some folks have told me its up in the air when theyll leave on wednesday, depending on what is happening here, but no one has told me they are close to a deal. Coming up at 5 00, well hear from Governor Wolf on that and on what he now has to say about that thanksgiving deadline. Live in harrisburg, im lauren mayk, nbc 10 news.

Absolutely, even the president of the Optimist Club would have trouble finding something positive about yesterdays 4517 loss to the buccaneers.
