HARRISBURG — Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf threatened Monday to veto a short-term emergency spending package being advanced by Pennsylvania’s House GOP majority as the budget stalemate closed in on the state record.

Meanwhile, a Wolf ally in the Legislature said ongoing talks were aimed at getting a bipartisan budget deal through the House and around opposition by most members of the huge House Republican majority.

The moves came after a weekend during which a six-week-old budget deal suffered its latest setback, and House Republican leaders went back on a pledge to send tax legislation to a floor vote, after Wolf’s office said Friday it had corralled enough support to pass it.

Wolf issued his veto threat in a short statement and otherwise remained out of sight in the Capitol.

“A stopgap budget does not change the status quo that Harrisburg has accepted for too long,” the governor’s office wrote. “It does not restore funding to our schools, and it does not begin to fix our deficit.”

House Republicans unveiled an 11-month, $28.2 billion spending plan that could see a final vote in the chamber as early as Wednesday. State tax collections are not expected to cover a full year of bills without spending cuts.

Along with Illinois, Pennsylvania is one of just two states still fighting over a budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.

Pennsylvania, an anomaly among states for its late budgets and long stalemates, is close to breaking its modern-day record — Wednesday, Dec. 23 — for a budget fight, set in 2003 by another first-year Democratic governor, Ed Rendell.
