Pennsylvania justices to settle line-item veto power dispute
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania case that pits the governor against the Legislature in a battle over the line-item veto could rebalance the exercise of power during the state’s annual budget negotiations. The state Supreme Court recently announced it will hold oral arguments next month in the challenge brought by state senators of both parties against then-Gov. Tom Corbett in 2014, after he blue-lined millions of dollars in spending, including special funds controlled by top legislative leaders.
Commonwealth Court ruled just over a year ago that governors have the authority under the state constitution to veto individual provisions in what is a major budget package of amendments to the Fiscal Code. The Supreme Court justices have to decide if they agree or if governors can only veto the Fiscal Code amendments en masse.
BENSALEM, Pa. (AP) — Several hundred people gathered in eastern Pennsylvania for a rally in support of President Donald Trump, one of a number of such rallies across the country. xSupporters waved signs and placards and listened to speeches during Saturday’s “Spirit of America” rally in Bensalem’s Neshaminy State Park in Bucks County.
Organizer Jim Worthington said supporters love Trump’s message of “making America first.” He said “we are here to meet and make sure all Americans are prospering.” Liz Kimmel was one of those braving the cold weather in support of Trump. She said “I couldn’t be more proud of him or proud to be an American.” In northwestern Pennsylvania, the Erie Times-News reported that about 100 people gathered at a square in downtown Erie for a similar demonstration.
