The Lycoming County Commissioners addressed the effects of the state budget impasse Thursday in Williamsport.

They spoke to hundreds of county workers and residents gathered outside the county offices.

The commissioners took state legislators and the governor to task for failing to approve a spending plan.

They added that the county has had to pony up cash to cover several state-mandated programs.

Commissioner Rebecca Burke explained, "Every citizen must realize this is not just business as usual. We respectfully request the governor and the legislature to act soon. Time is of the essence."

If you're still keeping count, it's now 58 days past the deadline for a state budget.
