Pittsburgh man to appear on fatal heroin overdose charge

Paper: Federal civil rights cases against officers are rare

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf is suggesting that he may sign at least part of Republican lawmakers' spending legislation that could arrive on his desk by the day's end. Wolf for a second day Wednesday wouldn't say whether he'd sign or veto a $6 billion spending bill. It's designed to resolve a partisan fight that's left schools and universities warning of closures two-thirds into the state's fiscal year. But during an appearance on WITF-FM radio, Wolf said he thinks "we can get some money out." Still, Wolf warns that Republicans haven't gotten serious about resolving an approximately $2 billion projected deficit. Wolf is proposing a $2.7 billion tax increase to wipe it out and boost school spending. A bipartisan spending deal involving a tax increase collapsed in December after House GOP leaders pulled their support.
