Gov. Wolf may want to familiarize himself with how the PA Development Trust was established. It's not available for him to raid. The money isn't Commonwealth tax revenue.
6th District (Bucks County) State Sen. Tommy Tomlinson on ATR tomorrow at 11a to explain things to the Governor.

That was my understanding Steve. A raid on the fund by ex-gov Tom Corbett almost ruined the PA horse industry.
Smarty Jones actually tilted the state voters towards slots and it was linked to horse racing and all the associated businesses. PA, like other NE states, are going bankrupt by overspending. Gambling is the answer for them. PA has legalized Sports Betting with no input to racing. Without slots input to racing, there would be no racing. But without racing's input to slots, there would be no gambling.

I’m not sure if PA is the same...but this all derives from the general principle that a Legislature cannot bind future Legislatures. Generally the only way to do that is to amend the State Constitution. Of course, with all that, Wolf would still need the Legislature to approve his budget and it’s not clear he has support for this to pass. For PA racing’s sake, I hope I’m wrong. And with that, I’ll stop nerding out about the legislative budget process.
