Governor Corbett’s Budget Cuts Over $1.1 Billion in Education Governor Corbett recently released the details of his proposed state budget for 2011-2012, including staggering cuts to basic education (over $1.1 BILLION). This budget represents an outrageous lack of understanding of the value and importance of public school to the future of our kids, our communities and our economy. These cuts will affect all Pennsylvanians and our legislators need to hear from us NOW about how this is the wrong choice for Pennsylvania. educationvoterspa.org

"House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) poured cold water Friday on conservatives' effort to shut down the government if legislation to keep it open after Sept. 30 includes funding to implement Obamacare. He said there aren't enough votes to make it happen in the Senate. "In order to avoid a government shutdown, we need 60 votes in the Senate and 218 votes in the House to pass a continuing resolution," Cantor told National Review's Robert Costa. "To get 60 votes in the Senate, you need at least 14 Democrats to join Republicans and pass a CR that defunds Obamacare. Right now, I am not aware of a single Democrat in the Senate who would join us. If and when defunding has 60 votes in the Senate, we will absolutely deliver more than 218 votes in the House." The remarks appear to be the first from a House Republican leader on the push, which is being advanced by conservatives during the August recess.
