PA’s Budget Late Again For 5th Year In A Row

For the fifth year in a row, Pennsylvania has once again missed the deadline for passing its annual state budget.

Denise Clay-Murray explains why it matters and who will be most impacted in this week’s Hall Monitor livestream. “Do your job!” she tells Harrisburg legislators. “And your job right now is to pass the budget!”

The Philadelphia Hall Monitor has launched a Countdown Clock to see how long it takes for PA’s budget to finally pass. Sign up for our free newsletter to watch the countdown.

Also on this week’s episode: how to survive Philly’s heat emergency, especially this long weekend, and some good news (maybe) for your electricity bills.
