Even as the weak economy continues to hamper the state government’s finances, Gov. Ed Rendell plans to pursue a rather ambitious agenda in his final state budget. When Rendell introduces his 2010-11 budget proposal Tuesday, he will seek: More money for public schools. A tax on natural gas drilling. The extension of tobacco taxes to products that are now exempt, such as cigars and smokeless tobacco.
