Pennsylvanians will wake up this week with a new state budget. Granted, it’s 267 days past the “hard” deadline — the fiscal year began last July 1, making the budget stalemate that just ended the state’s longest in more than 60 years.

The $30 billion balanced budget proposed by the Republican Legislature will become official without Gov. Tom Wolf’s signature. Wolf, a Democrat, announced Wednesday he won’t carry out his threat to veto the budget, which includes a $200 million increase for education, about half of the increase Wolf had proposed for public schools 13 months earlier.

The budget contains none of the aggressive tax increases Wolf had proposed in a $32 billion budget in February 2015, including higher sales and personal income taxes and a severance tax on natural gas wells.

Neither does it contain any provisions for privatizing the state’s liquor control network or reforming state employee pensions, ideas that are popular among the Legislature’s GOP leadership.

Liquor privatization and pension reform should have been bargaining chips used by Wolf to negotiate his tax increases. But the negotiations toward a grand bargain never materialized. Both sides appeared plagued by a no-compromise, take-it-or-leave-it attitude.

Wolf might be feeling a little crestfallen, but he’s not admitting defeat.

G. Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College, points out that Wolf is attempting to distance himself from the issue, attempting to frame it not as a win or loss, but as a draw.

By neither signing nor vetoing the bill, Wolf conveys a message, Madonna said in a Philadelphia Inquirer interview: “This is your budget, Republicans in the legislature. You’re responsible for it.”

The governor is sidesteping the greater message he’s conveying: He can’t win. After more than a year of persuasion, threats, delays and power maneuvering, Wolf failed to ramrod his tax proposals through a Republican Legislature.

It should be a humbling revelation to the governor, especially when we’re already two months into the negotiating season for the next fiscal year’s budget.

Wolf should be presenting his new budget with an added measure of humility, realizing his previous efforts failed. Likewise, the Republicans should be equally aware that their constituency expects more from them, too.

Maybe this time around both sides might show they’ve learned from the experience and actually try negotiating.
