Post-Gazette Harrisburg Bureau
HARRISBURG — With his firstPennsylvania budget still unfin-ished, Gov. Tom Wolf on Tuesdaydelivered a combative second bud-get address, telling Republican leg-islators that if they won’t send hima sound proposal, they should finda different job.
After a year of division at theCapitol over Mr. Wolf’s first call toraise taxes and increase schoolspending and resistance to that callfrom the Republican legislativemajorities, the scene Tuesday sug-gested neither side is about tobudge. Mr. Wolf’s new budget pro-posal would raise the personal in-come tax from 3.07 percent to 3.4percent, and it assumes the Gen-eral Assembly will agree to addi-tional spending increases this fis-cal year and then more increasesin the year beginning July 1.
Groans arose from the Republi-can side of the chamber at pointsduring Mr. Wolf’s address, whileDemocrats applauded.

Wins by outsiders send a message to establishment
MANCHESTER, N.H.— Fiercely independent votershere bypassed establishmentcandidates to deliver an impor-tant early victory to two outsid-ers who are polar opposites inboth policy and personality.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders,an unapologetic socialist, sweptthe Democratic contest, easilydefeating consummate insiderHillary Clinton, who won herefour years ago.
Meanwhile, voters in the Re-publican primary picked thebraggadocious billionaire busi-
nessman Donald Trump.“There is a significant constit-
uency that is sending a loudwarning to Republican elites.They’re demanding that theirpriorities be addressed, andTrump is their messenger forthat,” said University of NewHampshire political scientistDante Scala.
Democrats sent a message,too, Mr. Sanders said in his vic-tory speech in Concord, N.H.
“What we witnessed tonight is
nothing short of a political revo-lution,” he said to thunderous ap-plause.
“It will bring together hard-working people who have givenup on the political process. It willbring together young people whohave never participated in thepolitical process,” Mr. Sanderssaid. “It will bring togetherblacks, white, Latinos, Asian-Americans, Native Americans,straight and gay, male and fe-male, people who were born inAmerica and people who immi-grate here. We will all come to-gether and say loudly and clearly

Supporters of the 911th AirliftWing in Moon cleared a major hur-dle Tuesday when they persuadedPresident Barack Obama to in-clude $85 million to upgrade its fa-cilities to handle larger C-17 cargoplanes in his federal budget pro-posal.
The proposal would bring asquadron of eight planes to replaceC-130 planes used now and an addi-tional 400 full-time personnel. Butit also would bring something evenmore important: a secure future atPittsburgh International Airportfor the base, which has been fight-ing every few years to avoid clo-sure.
“This is the big hurdle, and it’sin the budget now,” said Charles L.Holsworth, president of the Mili-tary Affairs Council of WesternPennsylvania. “It’s a great thingfor the military and for the region.I’d say we won’t have to fightagainst closure for another 50years.”

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A dividedSupreme Court agreed Tuesday tohalt enforcement of PresidentBarack Obama’s sweeping plan toaddress climate change until afterlegal challenges are resolved.
The move is seen as a surpris-ing blow to the administration anda victory for the coalition of 27mostly Republican-led states andalso utilities, coal miners andother industry opponents that call
the regulations “an unprece-dented power grab.”
It’s “the most far-reaching andburdensome rule EPA has everforced onto the states,” the coali-tion led by West Virginia andTexas argued in court papers.
The high court’s willingness toissue a stay while the case pro-ceeds was viewed as an early hintthat the program could face askeptical reception from thejustices.
