KD/PG Sunday Edition

CBS2-Pittsburgh-11:30 a.m.

This Sunday morning 11:30AM., on KDKA-TV’S “KD/PG Sunday Edition”, with KDKA-TV news anchor Stacy Smith and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Sunday editor, Jerry Micco:

On this week’s broadcast:

Capitol Hill remains in political gridlock, this summer – with little progress on key issues, such as healthcare reform. Members of Congress are also trying to recover from the shocking shooting spree in Virginia, on June 14th – at a Republican practice for a Congressional baseball charity game. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise – from Louisiana – was critically wounded, three others, including another Congressman, were shot, and several other people were injured.

We’ll talk with Congressman Mike Doyle (D) from Pennsylvania’s 14th Congressional District (City of Pittsburgh, and portions of Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties), about what happens, now, to try to break the political stalemate.

Please join Stacy Smith and Jerry Micco, for this timely discussion – Sunday morning@11:30AM., on the “KD/PG Sunday Edition”, right after CBS’ “Face the Nation”, on KDKA-TV.
