I’LL TELL YOU WHO’S ELIGIBLE AND HOW YOU CAN GET IT. 4TH OF JULY IS ALMOST HERE, AND ALTHOUGH FIREWORKS ARE FUN, THERE’S SOME SAFETY TIPS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. I’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO USE THEM PROPERLY SO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE SAFE. WE’RE STARTING THE 6:00 HOUR WITH A LIVE LOOK OVER OUR LEBANON SKYCAM. SOME INTERESTING CLOUDS OUT THERE KICKING OFF YOUR MONTH OF JULY AND YOUR MONDAY MORNING. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. I’M CAITLIN SMITH AND I’M REGINA REGINA AHN. IT WAS A REALLY KIND OF A MUGGY, NOT SO PLEASANT WEEKEND, BUT TODAY’S MONDAY 1ST OF JULY. IT’S GOING TO BE NICE. IT’S GOING TO BE UNBELIEVABLE FOR JULY. I MEAN, WE COULD BARELY TOUCH 80 IN SOME SPOTS. THAT’S A 12 DEGREE COOLDOWN FROM YESTERDAY. HUMIDITY IS GOING TO BE LOW. IT’S THE MOST COMFORTABLE DAY OF THE WEEK. SO LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE HAVE OUTSIDE IN OUR HARRISBURG SKY CAM. HERE A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER THE FARTHER EAST YOU GO THIS MORNING AND THE FARTHER NORTH. BUT THOSE CLOUDS WILL ERODE LATER TODAY. CURRENT TEMPERATURE 59. IN SELINSGROVE, 61 IN YORK. FEELING FINE IN LANCASTER AT 62 DEGREES. LOOK AT THESE DEW POINTS. LOVE TO SEE DEW POINTS NEAR 50 AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THAT IS A REAL TREAT. SO 12 HOUR FORECAST TODAY, A WORLD OF CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY MORNING CLOUDS GIVING WAY TO PLENTY OF AFTERNOON SUNSHINE AND A HIGH OF 80. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE THIS LIGHT NORTHERLY NORTHWESTERLY BREEZE JUST ADDS THE COMFORT. YOU KNOW. SO NICE WINDOWS TODAY. EXACTLY. I’M GOING TO BE SO HAPPY WALKING OUT, NOT SWEATING IMMEDIATELY. AND HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS ARE HAVING A GREAT MORNING SO FAR. 601 ON THE CLOCK FOR YOU IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT RIGHT NOW. NO ISSUES THAT I’M SEEING ACROSS THE VALLEY, SO YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. THERE IS AN AREA THAT WE HAVE REALLY BEEN MONITORING PRETTY MUCH OVER THE WEEKEND. LAST WEEK I SAW THIS IN YORK COUNTY. THERE A ROAD THAT HAS SOME FALLEN POWER CABLES THAT ARE O’WARD ROAD BETWEEN BRIDGETON ROAD AND ROUTE 425. WATCH OUT FOR THAT. SOME MAINTENANCE WORK HAPPENING IN JUNIATA COUNTY ALL WEEK LONG EXCEPT FOR 4TH OF JULY, THE HOLIDAY ON THURSDAY. THIS IS TUSCARORA TOWNSHIP THERE ON ROUTE 3018. THERE IS A DETOUR IN PLACE. JUST USE ROUTE 850 IF YOU CAN. IMAGE IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE THERE IN YOUR COUNTY, BUT IF YOU ARE HEADED OUT YOUR SPLIT TO YORK, THAT’S A 20 MINUTE DRIVE ON 83 SOUTHBOUND. IF YOU’RE HEADED TO SHREWSBURY. BY THE WAY, WAS SO NICE TO VISIT SHREWSBURY OVER THE WEEKEND. LOVELY FOLKS OUT THERE. 14 MINUTES FOR YOU IF YOU’RE HEADED THERE ON 83 SOUTHBOUND, WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER CHECK IN EIGHT MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN A LANCASTER TOYOTA TRAFFIC REPORT. WELL, WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW WE TURN THE CALENDAR TO JULY 1ST TODAY. IT ALSO MEANS IT’S THE START OF THE FISCAL YEAR HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. AND FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, WE DO NOT HAVE AN APPROVED STATE BUDGET. AND NEWS 8 JAY SCOTT SMITH IS LIVE AT THE STATE CAPITOL IN HARRISBURG WITH MORE ON WHAT THIS MEANS. GOOD MORNING. JAY.

AND IT IS UNFORTUNATELY A BIT OF A FAMILIAR FEELING OUT HERE AT THE STATE CAPITOL AS YES, FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, JULY 1ST, THE START OF THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINS WITHOUT AN APPROVED BUDGET. AND TO UNDERSTAND, JULY 1ST IS NOT JUST SOME ARBITRARY DATE THAT THEY COME UP WITH THAT IS WRITTEN INTO THE PENNSYLVANIA CONSTITUTION. NOW, THE GOVERNOR, AS WELL AS STATE LAWMAKERS ARE CONTINUING TO WORK, AND THEY ARE EXPRESSING OPTIMISM THAT A BUDGET DEAL COULD BE REACHED SOON, DESPITE MISSING THE DEADLINE, THE REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED STATE SENATE LAST CONVENED ON THURSDAY, WHILE THE DEMOCRATIC STATE HOUSE WILL RETURN TODAY AFTER THEY WERE LAST SEEN HERE ON FRIDAY. NOW, SHAPIRO UNVEILED WHAT HE CALLED AN AMBITIOUS BUDGET BACK ON FEBRUARY 6TH. THE $48.3 BILLION BUDGET PLAN WILL RELY ON AROUND $3 BILLION IN RESERVE CASH TO BALANCE IT OUT, AND ONE MAJOR FEATURE IS A $1.1 BILLION BOOST FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
