(Harrisburg) -- Partisan posturing is in full effect at the state Capitol as budget talks continue to stall. Republican Representative Mario Civera -- who chairs the House Minority Appropriations panel -- has been hectoring Democratic leaders on the floor all week, urging them to call a full chamber vote on a spending plan.

But, Governor Rendell's chief of staff, Steve Crawford, is dismissing the GOP criticism.

Rendell and legislative leaders met twice this week. They're scheduled to sit down again on Monday.
