Daily News | How Gov. Josh Shapiro’s budget breakdown over school vouchers was a rare misstep
In the span of a week, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro managed to agitate everybody.
As for legislators in the statehouse — Democrats and public education advocates ultimately got what they wanted, though hurt feelings may linger. Republicans, meanwhile, say their trust has been broken — and that could affect Shapiro’s ability to get things done in the divided chamber. Ward said Friday she and Shapiro have not spoken since he announced he’d veto the controversial school-choice program. She has no plans to call the Senate back into session before Sept. 18, its next scheduled day.Pennsylvania’s budget is at an impasse, after lawmakers failed to send Gov. Josh Shapiro a completed budget by June 30, which is the start of the state’s new fiscal year.
Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman said last week in a statement he is dedicated to restoring trust in the budget process. House Majority Leader Matt Bradford told reporters Friday that leaders are entering a “reset” period and plan to restart negotiations soon. While Shapiro has characterized the stalemate as something the two chambers need to work out, Ward said that’s revisionist history. To her, Shapiro portrayed himself as the negotiator for House Democrats. Ward went from tweeting his praises“I would think as a governor, you would have the juice to get your party on board on one of your priorities,” Ward told The Inquirer, “if it’s truly a priority.
“If the narrative is ‘Republicans are holding up the budget,’ that’s not a bad narrative for the Democrats,” Dagnes said. “If it’s that Shapiro screwed over his own party and they’re not supporting him, that’s much worse.”
