He put heavy criticism on House Republicans who were close to a deal on december 23 but he says they left town before a final vote. I am going to exercise my constitutional right to lineitem veto this ridiculous exercise in budget futility. Im calling on our legislators to get back to harrisburg, back to the work they left unfinished last week. In the meantime, im vetoing their 95 million cut to education. Im also vetoing other items that they dont pay for in their socalled budget. This budget that they gave me does not balance. At the same time, im allowing emergency funding for our schools to get out. Im also letting funding go out to our Human Service agencies and to our counties. But this is on an emergency basis only. In doing this, i am expressing the outrage that all of us pennsylvanians should feel about the garbage the republican legislative leaders have tried to dump on us.

Authorities say there is a new trend among thieves and you can be a victim even if you do lock your car doors. They dont have to break a window, they are opening locked doors with an electronic remote but its not yours, its a hightech device that mimics the signal of your remote. Take a look at this video.
