HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Capitol became suddenly quiet Friday as the House began to consider hundreds of pages of just-unveiled legislation sent over by the Senate in a lurching effort to end the state government’s five-month stalemate.

House Republicans showed no signs of willingness to accept the Senate’s legislation.

“It’s quite a package,” House Speaker Mike Turzai told reporters. “There are open issues in each and every area.”

The Republican-controlled Senate adjourned Thursday night after a marathon week of passing major bills that authorize $30.8 billion in spending, overhaul public pension benefits and smash state control over the sale of wine. The last bill it passed — a 100-page education policy and school spending amendment — came up for a vote within moments of it becoming public.

The broad outlines of the Senate’s spending bill are supported by Gov. Tom Wolf and House Democrats. It would be accompanied by a $1.2 billion tax increase, the details of which have not been settled or written into legislation.

However, the House Republican majority revolted against those outlines last weekend, casting doubt on its viability and leaving lawmakers, lobbyists and others wondering whether the stalemate will stretch into 2016.

The House was scheduled to return to session Sunday evening. In the meantime, thousands of the state’s political and business elite flocked to New York to attend the weekend’s Pennsylvania Society festivities as layoffs mount at social service agencies struggling without state aid and borrowing by counties and school districts approaches $1 billion.

On Friday, the governor’s office sent a sharply worded statement.

“December 11th, more than 5 months after the deadline for passing a budget, and the House Republicans, controlled by extreme right-wing members that kowtow to special interests, continue to block a bipartisan, responsible budget from passing,” Wolf’s office said in a statement. “After the actions of several tea party members of the caucus, led by Speaker Turzai, it is now clear that this impasse is on the House Republicans.”

Turzai, R-Allegheny, defended House Republicans as the voice of fiscal sanity.

“This governor, as you know, is far to the left,” he said. Wolf “asked for $13 billion in tax increases in his opening budget address and does not really ever talk about the hardworking men and women who have to pay the taxes.”

House Republican leaders say they will look to reduce spending and its accompanying tax increase, and eliminate a provision in the pension legislation to artificially reduce next year’s state government and school district pension obligation payments.

Turzai objected to the formula used by the Senate to distribute $6 billion in school aid and proposed reductions in payments to charter schools. He also said the Senate’s legislation to allow private-sector wine can’t pass the House, where Republicans have sought a stronger privatization measure.
