Sign up for our newsletter! Swimmer's itch is a rash you can get from swimming in lakes, so researchers working in the Great Lakes have tried to eradicate it by treating ducks that carry the parasite that causes it. Nothing has worked, and people have started thinking about the problem of swimmer's itch differently. It has been five years since a Pennsylvania grand jury report slammed state regulators for not protecting residents from the impacts of fracking. Advocates want Governor Josh Shapiro to do more. Environmental groups will soon be canvassing Southwestern Pennsylvania on foot, by car, and by drone in an effort to find abandoned oil and gas wells.  We're independent and non-profit, and we don't get money from WESA, WPSU or any other radio station.

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.
