PA State Shutdown

All non-essential services in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have been shut down, due to the lack of a State budget. This means about 25,000 state employees are temporarily laid off. Let's hope this end's soon. Certainly not something that we need at this point.

Doesn't seem like there is that big of a difference in what is needed to get a budget passed. Of course politics are playing a part, and as usual the party bickering takes precedent over the citizenry.
