HARRISBURG — Republican Gov. Tom Corbett continues to try to build public support for his budget and ideas to bridge the $4.2 billion deficit, planning appearances in Pittsburgh, Erie and Chester County.

"The House is determined to do an on-time, no-tax-increase budget," said Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods. "We're going to move in a thorough and deliberate manner. We certainly are going to work within the parameters of the governor's $27.3 billion spending limit."

House Majority Whip Stan Saylor, R-York County, said lawmakers would attempt to reduce the proposed 50 percent cuts to higher education that Corbett outlined. They will attempt to replace that revenue by cutting the Department of Public Welfare, he said.
