Pennsylvania lawmakers voted on budget bills and public transit funding proposals this week—but nothing had the bipartisan support to get over the finish line.

This afternoon, House Democrats voted against a budget bill and transit bill the Republican-controlled Senate sent them last evening.

House Leader Rep. Matt Bradford, a Democrat from Montgomery County, remains optimistic.

“We are willing to work with the Senate on all of these issues, but what we can't do is delay and dither,” Bradford said.

After a flurry of legislative activity this week— nothing official was accomplished. The Pennsylvania state budget is still 43 days late with no final product on the table.

The House sent a $50 billion state budget bill to the Senate in July; then on Monday, sent a separate public transit funding bill. Philadelphia’s SEPTA system is set to cut 20% of their bus and train routes starting on August 24.

The Senate has ignored both bills.

They did come in on Tuesday and pass their own version of a transit fund proposal, along with a $47 billion budget bill (essentially a copy and paste of last year’s finances).

Both bills are what the House killed in votes today.

“There’s a reason its difficult. You have a divided government. You have two diametrically opposed visions for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” said Rep. Jesse Topper, the Republican House Leader.

Even as taxpayer money remains suspended— political analyst Berwood Yost, a professor at Franklin & Marshall College, says late budgets rarely lead to election consequences for lawmakers.

“Because you know, there's so many people involved in that process,” Yost said, "For some reason, it really doesn't seem to hurt."

A late budget might have some political risk if citizens experience a disruption in their daily life.

“You run into political problems when the state isn't doing what people think it should,” Yost said.

As Philadelphia faces a public transit crisis, lawmakers might face the wrath of angry commuters and employers.

That is a one time enigma for this year though; and regionalized.

Statewide, state funds have stopped flowing to school districts and counties. These organizations take out loans to stay operational, which leads to little change in what services people can access.

In the past, it used to be every year that if a state budget wasn’t passed on time…

“State employees and legislators didn't get paid. And so that meant things that people looked for which would shut down,” Yost said.

In 2009, the Supreme Court ruled state employees must be paid even if the budget is late. So now when lawmakers ignore the June 30th budget deadline;

“currently, it doesn't feel like we have the same pressure to come to the solution that we used to have,” Yost said.
