Show Notes

It's official: Corey O'Connor is Pittsburgh's next mayor — and we're all crossing our fingers that there'll be a state budget in place by the time he takes office in January.

Pennsylvania is the only state in the nation that hasn't passed a budget. The consequences have been dire, from school districts taking on loans to rape crisis centers cutting staff. PA Speaker of the House Joanna McClinton has a prime seat at the negotiation table as our state's top Democratic legislator. She joins City Cast Philly host Trenae Nuri to share her take on what's causing the holdup and explain how it's affecting everyday Pennsylvanians.
