As Pennsylvania’s toxic state budget impasse, now more than 200 days old, careens into this 2016 election year, it is clear that the people of Pennsylvania are in need of a squadron of Jedi knights to come swooping in on their X-wing fighters to rescue them. Hold that thought: only now picture those Jedi knights in the robes of Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices, because I’m here to tell you that the X-wing fighters are already in the sky over Harrisburg and that there’s every likelihood that the funding of public schools in Pennsylvania – the crux of the on-going budget battle – could well feel the impact of a stunning Supreme Court decision sometime later this year.
