Impact of the Budget Impasse
Patty Satalia and guests discuss what caused the state budget impasse, its impact on schools and nonprofits, and what it means for future budget negotiations.

How will the use of mail-in voting and drop boxes affect the election? How are opinions being influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic? And, what issues are important to Pennsylvania voters? We’ll answer those questions and take YOUR calls.
