Good Thursday Morning, Fellow Seekers.

As

, Republicans who control the General Assembly and the Democratic

Wolf administration

are a long way from an agreement on how to pay for the $32 billion 2017-2018 state budget that went into effect on July 1.

But even if they couldn't figure out a way to pay for it, one of the nation's largest and most expensive legislatures was incredibly efficient at tucking some $65 million in pet projects into the thicket of language in a piece of budget-enabling legislation known as the Fiscal Code.

Our friends at the Commonwealth Foundation were kind enough to cull through the document (so we didn't have to), extracting the pearls that your soon-to-be raised taxes will pay for in counties in every corner of the Commonwealth.

But if you're trying to figure out exactly what those projects are, good luck. You have to be fluent in Legislativese to divine lawmakers' intent.

Fr'instance (our thanks to the Commonweatlh Foundation, who were kind enough to translate.):

"$900,000 shall be distributed to a community college in a county of the fourth class with a population, based on the most recent Federal decennial census, of at least 175,000, but not more than 190,000."

In other words, Butler County Community College.

Or:

"No less than the amount used in the 2014-2015 fiscal year shall be used for research related to childhood cystic fibrosis in a city of the first class with a hospital that is nationally accredited as a cystic fibrosis treatment center and specializes in the treatment of children."

That's probably the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Or:

"At least $5,000,000 shall be distributed to a hospital in a city of the third class in a home rule county that was formerly a county of the second class A."

That's most likely Chester City, with the money allocated to the Crozer-Keystone Health System.

And one more, just for old times' sake:

"A qualifying academic medical center located in a county of the third class with a population between 279,000 and 282,000 under the 2010 Federal decennial census shall receive an additional $1,000,000."

Translation: Erie, possibly the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Our good pal, Dennis Owens, of ABC-27 also dug into the Ancient Hittite that lawmakers employed in the Fiscal Code. And he was just as flummoxed as the rest of us mere mortals.

A state Senate spokeswoman told Owens she "blames the Constitution. She says the authors would love to write this stuff in a more open and transparent manner, but it's apparently unconstitutional to steer money to a specific entity," he reported.

To get around that, budget-writers come up with that nonsensical language above.

"The process isn't transparent at all to taxpayers," the Commonwealth Foundation's Nathan Benefield told Owens. "The average person can't figure out where this money is going."
