Sen. Vincent Fumo, a 30-year state senator from Philadelphia, says he won't return to the Senate.
Fumo made the announcement on the Senate floor on Friday during an unusual session in which the chamber is finishing up the budget.
Fumo, who isn't running for re-election, faces trial in September on federal corruption charges and his term officially ends in November.
In a speech on the Senate floor, Fumo says he'll fight that "challenge."
Lawmakers will leave for their traditional two-month summer break and return in the fall for an election-shortened session.
