Rural health care and job training top a list of Pennsylvanians’ priorities, according to results of a recently-released special survey of public opinion. The process, designed like a town hall for people across the state, softened participants’ strongest political stances. State House Democrats blocked a vote on a bill to prohibit transgender girls from competing in school sports, late last week. The move comes after House Republicans used a political maneuver to force debate on the bipartisan Senate bill. We break down how it happened. Pennsylvania is among the states which have reached a multi-year, $720 million-dollar settlement with eight drug manufacturers. The deal stems from the companies' manufacuture of opioids and the part they played in a nationwide crisis regarding addiction and death. Last week marked a grim anniversary in Harrisburg. It's been two years since fire engulfed the Broad Street Market's brick building. You may have noticed new Pennsylvania license plates are hitting the roads. After 26 years Pennsylvania redesigned its license plate.

An Allegheny County state House member has led the charge to repeal a 150-year-old ban on Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania. Governor Josh Shapiro is expected to sign it into law this week. A state appeals court ruled that a Western Pennsylvania municipality violated its own zoning law when it allowed a natural gas well to be built in a residential area. The future of the federal food benefits program known as SNAP - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - is unclear. Nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians depend on SNAP benefits, and it costs about $500 million to administer SNAP annually in Pennsylvania. But there are sweeping changes to the program's state and federal funding formula going into effect, as a result of President Trump's newly-signed spending law. Governor Shapiro has said Trump's plan might mean the end for SNAP benefits. A Lancaster County lawmaker has introduced a bill to clarify the role of constables in the Commonwealth. Rep. Tom Jones, an East Donegal Township Republican, introduced a bill to modernize the regulations governing constables and clarify their roles in the court system and law enforcement. Tower Health is eliminating 50 positions across four hospitals, including Reading Hospital, and outpatient services. The nonprofit company says it's part of a streamlining process at the healthcare system. The Schuylkill County borough of Saint Clair is celebrating its 175th anniversary this week. And a deeper dive: Pennsylvania needs more power to meet growing demands for electricity. As a result, Governor Shapiro has proposed a statewide board to expedite the siting of large-scale electricity projects such as those needed to power data centers.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The federal spending bill calls for a reduction in Medicaid spending by an estimated $930 billion over the next decade. The shared federal-state health program currently provides insurance coverage to more than 70 million Americans with low incomes. Effects of the cuts will not only be felt by low-income Pennsylvanians, but through the state's hospitals and even nursing homes. The Trump administration is holding up nearly $7 billion dollars in federal funding that Congress had already approved for educational programs. Pennsylvania and other states were slated to get the money on July 1st. The State Department of Labor and Industry continues to offer support to workers impacted by the idling of the Cleveland-Cliffs Steelton plant. Assistance has included transition information and a job fair. Two Pittsburgh universities are among those working to understand the impact artificial intelligence is having on jobs. The study aims to get ahead of technology shocks that may change how people work. Developers in Pennsylvania who want to skip the line for certain environmental permits can apply through a new program from the state Department of Environmental Protection called Streamlining Permits for Economic Expansion and Development, or SPEED. A Dauphin County judge collapsed while riding his bike and was taken to Penn State Hershey Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead last Friday. Judge Michael J. Smith was a Magisterial District Judge of 20 years. In Centre County, efforts to strip control of a troubled rural water company from its longtime family owner have hit another roadblock, again delaying a permanent fix to years of unreliable service. Rock Spring Water Company and owner J. Roy Campbell recently rejected a $65,000 offer from nearby State College Borough Water Authority to buy the private system, according to reporting by our partners at Spotlight PA. Nine people were rescued from the Swatara Creek by the Hershey Volunteer Fire Department on the 4th of July. It happened near the Hershey Dam, a low-head dam operated by Pennsylvania American Water. Those rescued included three children. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Governor Josh Shapiro and Democrats in the state Senate are blasting President Donald Trump’s domestic spending plan. Shapiro told reporters that half a million Pennsylvanians could lose access to health care through Medicaid or other programs. Meantime, in Harrisburg, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania’s politically divided Legislature have missed Pennsylvania’s deadline to pass a budget for the new fiscal year, amid closed-door talks to try to produce a compromise. Shapiro said at a news conference he anticipates negotiators will agree on a plan "very soon.” UPMC headquarters in downtown Pittsburgh is the site of recent rallies. Julia Maruca from our friends at WESA explains, protesters are speaking out against the nonprofit's plans to end gender affirming care for patients under the age 19. A longtime Pennsylvania congressman is announcing he won't seek reelection. U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans, a Philadelphia Democrat, is capping a 45-year career in public office. Heavy rain is causing flooding at a popular Lancaster County park set to host one of the region’s most popular 4th of July celebrations. Lititz Springs Park is awash in muddy floodwaters after torrential downpours. And in addition to 4th of July celebrations, a major historical commemoration is taking place this week in Gettysburg: the 162nd anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen is critical of President Donald Trump’s proposed Medicaid cuts. The Pennsylvania Turnpike continues to modernize, as tollbooths begin to come down and interchanges are reconstructed. Homer C. Floyd, one of Pennsylvania’s premier civil rights leaders, has died at the age of 89.

PENNSYLVANIA: CREEPY & MYSTERIOUS COMMONWEALTH | Join Us - LIVE CHAT | Q&A (CHILLING PAST & PRESENT)Tonight, we turn our attention to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania—a land steeped in rich history, rolling forests, ancient mountains, and a long legacy of inexplicable encounters. From the shadowy hollows of the Appalachian spine to the mist-laden valleys of the Susquehanna, Pennsylvania pulses with strange energy. This is a state where the past never truly dies... and something else watches from the tree line.For decades, eyewitnesses have come forward with chilling tales of upright canines stalking wooded backroads, winged humanoids gliding silently over towns, and elusive primate-like figures—what many call Bigfoot—haunting the dense woodlands. These cryptids have become woven into the folklore and fear of the region, yet their presence remains as real as the trembling voice of a witness who knows what they saw.But the strangeness doesn't end there. Pennsylvania is also home to some of the most notorious hauntings on record—from restless spirits in colonial graveyards to malevolent forces lurking in old mining towns and forgotten asylums. The line between myth and memory blurs when homes become battlegrounds for the paranormal, and entire communities are affected by a presence they cannot name, let alone explain.Then there are the skies: glowing orbs, structured craft, and unearthly lights that confound radar and reason alike. Reports of UFOs and alien encounters are frequent. An example is the Kecksburg Incident, where a fiery object once fell from the heavens and was quickly cloaked in secrecy. For many Pennsylvanians, the extraterrestrial is not just science fiction—it is part of their lived experience.As we delve into these accounts tonight, we invite you to listen closely—not just with your ears, but with your instincts. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or someone who has had your own unexplained experience, Phantoms & Monsters Radio brings you into the fold.

The lawsuit filed last week by Governor Josh Shapiro against the US Department of Agriculture deals with the termination of a three-year, $13 million dollar food assistance contract. That funding also affects food assistance programs for needy Pennsylvanians. And a PA food bank advocate speaks out against the cuts. Solar energy companies across the region are reeling at the prospects of rollbacks to the green energy tax credits, with thousands of jobs at stake. As the school year winds down, colleges and universities are preparing to send out bills for the next academic year. With that in mind, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency is lining up a series of free webinars - which launch tomorrow - aimed at helping students and families. Beginning the night of Memorial Day and continuing through the summer until Labor Day, Taps is played in Gettysburg. The program, in its ninth year, called 100 nights of Taps, is organized by Wendy Allen, a Gettysburg gallery owner known for her paintings of Abraham Lincoln who serves as president of the board of directors for the Lincoln Fellowship of Pennsylvania.

The district was first put under state control in 2019 in order to improve its finances and academic results. Harrisburg's former Bishop McDevitt High School is headed to sheriff’s sale this summer due to failed mortgage payments.

Pennsylvania's state House Republican leader says transit agencies in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh should consider privatizing some functions to avoid service cuts. House minority leader Jesse Topper says Philadelphia's transit system -- the largest in the state -- could run more efficiently by hiring outside drivers. A spokesperson for Pittsburgh Regional Transit dismissed the idea. Pennsylvanians have less than a week to obtain a Real ID by the May 7th deadline. PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll said PennDOT is ramping up for the last-minute rush. A new greenhouse gas emissions inventory from Philadelphia shows planet-warming emissions, are decreasing... from sources such as cars, trucks, homes, industrial facilities and leaks from gas pipelines. Sophia Schmidt, from our friends at WHYY's Climate Desk, reports. Pennsylvania was set to receive $13 million over three years to purchase fresh produce for communities in need. That funding was blocked by the Trump Administration last month. Isabela Weiss from our friends at WVIA reports, some farmers say the Local Food Purchasing Assistance (LFPA) program was deeply flawed and didn’t meet local needs... while food bank organizers say the funding is essential. The West York police officer killed in a York hospital seige in February... was killed by friendly fire. York County District Attorney Tim Barker says Andrew Duarte was struck by a shotgun blast fired by police that also hit an armed man holding hostages. Attorneys General from Pennsylvania and 39 other states are calling on Congress not to eliminate funding for a vital federal program. The Legal Services Corporation, or LSC, provides representation for eligible veterans and older individuals in rural areas. Harrisburg city officials have issued an emergency declaration for the 6th Street corridor. They're calling 6th Street a public safety hazard... between Maclay and Reily Streets... due to drivers consistently traveling above the posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. Local musician Darrion Washington stopped by our studio recently to play a couple of his songs and chat. His music takes listeners through a range of emotions, from softer melodies to agonized wails.

The Pennsylvania House is broadening and advancing a consumer data privacy bill. WITF’s Jordan Wilkie reports it would allow Pennsylvanians to ask companies to not collect certain data and have them delete other data already on-hand. A Johnstown-based mining company has gotten the go-ahead to expand an underground coal mine in Westmoreland County. LCT Energy operates the 2800-acre Rustic Ridge “Number One” coal mine in Donegal, just south of the Pennsylvania Turnpike exit there. The company recently got approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to expand the mine northward, underneath the Turnpike. Reid Frazier, from our friends at the Allegheny Front, reports opponents of the project worry about the potential for environmental damage. Dauphin County officials admit a 911 dispatcher did not appropriately escalate a call in accordance with county policy, early Sunday morning, April 13th, an hour after an arson attack on the Governor's Residence. Campgrounds, boat ramps, welcome centers and other recreational facilities run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in six states are being closed or seeing hours reduced due to funding cuts by the Trump administration. The cuts include Blue Marsh Lake located near Reading, in Berks County. Mike Sullivan’s nearly decade-long tenure running the Pittsburgh Penguins is over. The team announced Monday that it was parting ways with the two-time Stanley Cup winning coach just over a week after the Penguins missed out on the playoffs for a third straight season. And the Hershey Bears open their Calder Cup playoff run this week. Game one is Wednesday night in Hershey, versus the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in an Atlantic Division best-of-five semifinal series. Hershey is seeking its 14th AHL championship overall. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pennsylvanians lost hundreds of millions of dollars in scams last year. The state has joined an online poker market. About $1 million has been invested into local golf courses ahead of the U.S. Open. Lastly, it's hummingbird migration season.

The federal deadline to get a REAL ID is now about two weeks away, but only 27% of Pennsylvanians have one. The parent company of Philadelphia’s Independence Blue Cross posted a NET LOSS for the first time in nearly a decade last year. That means the nonprofit spent more on healthcare costs than it collected in insurance premiums. The trade war between the U.S. and China is knocking on the door of the fast-fashion industry. Proponents of sustainable clothing hope tariffs will persuade people to buy second hand. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/27/2025): 3:05pm- After the first week of his second term as president, Donald Trump mandated employees of the federal government work in-person, withdrew the nation from the Paris Climate Agreement, withdrew the nation from the World Health Organization (WHO) citing their willingness to cover-up China's COVID-19 transgressions, delayed enforcement of a national ban of TikTok, recognized two genders—male and female, pardoned 1,500 Americans arrested for their actions on January 6th, 2021, expanded domestic energy production, shut down the U.S. Southern border and began deportations of dangerous illegal migrants, and guaranteed free speech on social media. Trump also fulfilled a long-term campaign pledge to focus on meritocracy and pivot away from the prioritization of far-left policies like diversity, equity, and inclusion (D.E.I.) within the federal government. Rich wonders, was this the most consequential first week in modern presidential history? 3:15pm- On Sunday, the Trump Administration arrested nearly 1,000 illegal migrants who have been accused of serious crimes. Comparatively, the Biden Administration averaged 310 arrests per day, according to Axios. The New York Post reports that in a raid over the weekend, federal agents arrested 50 members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in Denver, Colorado. 3:30pm- CIA Says Lab Leak the Likely Origin of COVID-19: Michael R. Gordon and Dustin Volz of The Wall Street Journal write: “The Central Intelligence Agency has now concluded that the deadly Covid-19 pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, lending credibility to a view that has been the focus of sharp debate among scientists and politicians for years. In doing so, the CIA has now joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Energy Department in identifying a laboratory mishap in Wuhan, China, as the probable source of the Covid virus. It has killed more than 1.2 million Americans and over seven million people worldwide.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/cia-now-favors-lab-leak-theory-on-origins-of-covid-19-eff4e67c. 3:40pm- After initially rejecting deportation flights containing Colombian citizens who entered the U.S. illegally, Colombian President Gustavo Perez reversed course—even providing the U.S. with his own presidential plane to assist in the process. After Perez's refusal, President Donald Trump announced he would slap Colombia with a 25% tariff, with the promise it would quickly increase to 50%.
