Gov. Tom Wolf's Budget Address Tuesday before a joint session of the legislature was unique in several ways.

It was the first time in Pennsylvania's history that a governor was proposing the next fiscal year's spending plan while the budget for the current fiscal year isn't completed. Wolf's tone and criticism of House Republicans in particular was different and resulted in Republicans loudly booing and groaning. Wolf accused House Republicans of adjourning before Christmas without finishing a budget. Republicans countered that they completed a budget -- just not the one the governor wanted.

The governor is proposing a budget of more than $33 billion that includes spending increases for K-12 education, higher education, human services and programs for drug and alcohol treatment.

Wolf is looking for $2.7 billion in tax increases and new taxes to pay for additional spending.

Under Wolf's plan, the personal income tax would go from 3.07 to 3.4%, an extraction tax would be imposed on natural gas drillers and the sales tax would include a few items not previously taxed.

Republicans, who hold majorities in both the House and Senate, are critical of the governor's proposal, after shooting down his plans to generate new revenue for the past seven months.

We'll hear from both sides on Wednesday's Smart Talk.
