PHILADELPHIA -
Gov. Tom Corbett was in Philadelphia Thursday where he met with members of the Women Organized Against Rape crisis center to discuss the state's 2013 budget.
Corbett, who gave his budget address earlier this month, discussed his pension reform plan and how he hopes it will result in more money for these types of centers.
A bill is headed to President Obama's desk that renews protection from domestic violence for women and some men.
The House on Thursday passed an extension of the "Violence Against Women Act." The bill lapsed in 2011 when lawmakers were unable to agree on the types of protections the act should offer.

Rain moved in Saturday afternoon and the chance for it will stick around through the seven day forecast.
It becomes very unsettled across our area with clounds and showers again Sunday. The best chance for rain is in the morning and afternoon thunderstorms are possible towards our south.
Sunday is cool but we do warm up well into the 80s by Tuesday. With the warm weather comes a better chance for thunderstorms.
