Rep. John Payne (R-Dauphin) said Republican and Democrat leaders of the House of Representatives recently decided not to print the calendars.
"After completing a difficult state budget, and with all signs pointing to a continued reduction of revenues, the General Assembly must do its part to control spending," Payne said in a statement. "The Legislature is carefully reviewing all expenditures to ensure they still meet the needs of Pennsylvanians."
Sen. Jeff Piccola's office said the Senate has also done away with the 2010 calendars.
During an interview with abc27 News last year, Matthew Brouillette of the Commonwealth Foundation said the calendars are a form of campaigning that costs nearly $400,000 a year.
