HARRISBURG — Lawmakers and staff in Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled state Legislature are scrambling to finish writing a host of budget- and education-related bills to get them to Gov. Tom Corbett before the new fiscal year starts Sunday.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bill Adolph said today he expected final details of Republicans’ $27.7 billion spending plan to be made public later today.

A House vote could happen Wednesday. After that, Senate passage would be necessary.

Meanwhile, writing continues on a variety of education-related bills being sought by Corbett as part of his agenda to enhance the role of charter schools and private schools in public education.

Also expected are changes to a bill Corbett is seeking to extend a tax credit to a planned multibillion-dollar petrochemical refinery in Beaver County.
