Following is a listing of executive and legislative action for the week of Sept. 11. The state House of Representatives was continuing in session at press time; the Pennsylvania Senate stood in recess and was set to return to session on Monday.

Short-Term Investments

Treasurer Joe Torsella and Auditor General Eugene DePasquale on Sept. 12 released a joint statement calling on the General Assembly to act immediately to fund the fiscal year 2017-18 spending plan, warning that the General Fund was set to run out of money three days later. “Without corrective action, $860 million in scheduled expenditures would be delayed” until lawmakers act. Torsella said in a letter also signed by DePasquale that he was “disinclined” to authorize a loan from Treasury’s short-term investment pool, or STIP, to keep the state government afloat after Sept. 15.
