HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Highlights of Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's spending plan for the 2018-19 budget year that starts July 1:

THE BIG PICTURE

— Increases spending through the state's main bank account to $33 billion, an increase of $1 billion in new spending, or 3 percent of this year's enacted budget of $32 billion.

— Does not increase tax rates on sales or income, the state's two biggest sources of revenue.

— Counts on about $250 million from a new severance tax on natural gas production.

— Calls for lawmakers to raise the state minimum wage to $12 an hour, up from the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour, to save $100 million in social and human services costs.
