It’s another Tuesday in this presidential election season. For the first time in a long time we don’t have a primary or caucus! But just because there are no primaries, doesn’t mean that there is no news. We’ll get into the big news of Bernie Sanders getting the opportunity to appoint a Dream Team to the Democratic platform committee. What will this mean for the future of the Democratic Party?
Plus, we’ll talk about the shocking proposal by Jay Badams, the Superintendent of the Erie School District, to shut down all of the city’s public high schools due to a lack of funding from the state. The proposal comes on the heels of a cutting video released by the school district, “Doing Nothing is Not the Answer,” putting pressure on PA politicians to adequately fund public education in the Commonwealth.
Then we’ll ask what’s creeping around in Philly public schools? Sean Kitchen will give us a preview of his upcoming story. And, what’s going on with the big shake up in the PA Department of Environmental Protection? DEP Secretary John Quigley gets the boot after some gas-loving Democrats put pressure on Gov. Wolf to kick him to the curb? Did the Governor cave to Big Gas?
Finally, Sean will give us a preview of his Rocky Mountain vacation and gives us a stellar beer recommendation. “I drank a growler,” says Kitchen. Can you say “Murren River IPA” from Pizza Boy Brewing?
