We talk about the explosion over the budget that happened this week at the Capitol. The governor’s mad at House Republicans who are mad at House Democrats. Meanwhile, revenue to fund the budget is 3 months overdue and counting. We’ll also discuss a story we broke this week about last year’s cheating scandal at the State Police Academy. A trooper was among the 40-some men and women who were forced to resign or were fired. Our investigation showed he did not cheat. Lawsuits could be coming. Our analysts discuss a claim by Governor Wolf that politics are causing the budget impasse and that legislative Republicans “would rather see me fail than Pennsylvania succeed.” Is that true? Tune in to find out.
