Auditor General Jack Wagner urges compromise to resolve PA budget stalemate

Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner, who may run for governor in 2010, said today that Gov. Rendell and the General Assembly should consider recent revenue suggestions made by him and several Pennsylvania newspapers as a way of ending the commonwealth's six-week budget impasse.

"For the sake of all Pennsylvanians, I urge Gov. Rendell and the General Assembly to seek a compromise that balances the budget without the need either for severe spending cuts or an increase in broad-based taxes," Wagner said in a written statement.

Wagner offered seven suggestions that could raise at least $1.3 billion in revenue to close the budget gap.
