LEHMAN TOWNSHIP -- The absence of a state budget was an underlying issue at a Christmas tree lighting at Lake Lehman High School in Luzerne County Monday night.

State Senator Lisa Baker was the master of ceremonies and she told Newswatch 16 that she's hopeful the state will finally have a new budget in a matter of weeks.

"There is, in the works, a compromise that's in place, and all the legislation is being put together as we speak," Baker said.

Baker said the entire legislature should be back in session by the end of this week to begin finalizing the state budget, which is five months overdue.
