The Latest: Pennsylvania governor to veto GOP's budget bill

The state Senate is sending to Gov. Tom Wolf to a Republican-penned bill that will end the traditional pension benefit for most new school and state government workers, but Democrats expect Wolf to veto it. The vote completes a flurry of action by the Republican-controlled Legislature to send an ambitious agenda to Wolf's desk, including a $30.2 billion budget bill and a bill to allow private companies to take over the state-controlled wine and liquor business. The House voted 113 to 82 on Tuesday for the Republican-backed proposal to let private companies take over the marketing, shipment and sale of wine and liquor in the state. The Pennsylvania Senate has given final approval to a new state spending plan, but the Republican-penned bill didn't get a single Democrats' vote and it's facing a veto by Gov.
