Welcome to this week’s edition of Pennsylvania’s Only State Politics Podcast (TM). Accept no substitutes.
We return to our regularly scheduled Monday edition tackling the big issues.Namely, what Pennsylvania will do when/if the Federal Highway Administration shoots down its application to turn Interstate 80 into a toll road. A rejection would punch a $450 million hole in the state budget. And right now, there’s no Plan B.
We venture out onto the campaign trail to find tensions rising between U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter and challenger Joe Sestak. Now they’re sparring over how much Sestak pays (or doesn’t) his campaign staffers.
And we ask, “Whither Tom Corbett?” Since he won the Republican endorsement three weeks ago, he’s been a bit of a no-show on the campaign trail, skipping a couple of prominent forums. Meanwhile, with the Tea Party surging, GOP primary challenger has been talking to any group that will have him.
Join John L. Micek of The Morning Call; Alex Roarty of PoliticsPA and Pennsylvania Legislative Services, and Scott Detrow of Public Radio Capital News as they take on these topics, as well as the Olympics and the fine art of mixing the perfect Moscow Mule.
