Lawmakers and staff in Pennsylvania's Republican-controlled state Legislature are scrambling to finish writing a host of budget and education-related bills to get them to Governor Tom Corbett before the new fiscal year starts Sunday.
 
The Senate Republicans made final details of Republicans' $27.7-billion spending plan public Tuesday.
 
Spending for health care, pensions and debt is rising, while lawmakers want to eliminate a program that provides $200 a month to adults who are disabled and can't work. Public schools would see a little more money, universities would see the same amount and tuition grants to students would shrink.
 
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bill Adolph says a House vote could happen Wednesday. After that, Senate passage would be necessary.
