Show Notes

Pennsylvanias Governor Josh Shapiro proposes a new revenue source: taxing skill games at 52%, expecting $766 million for the 2026-27 budget. However, Republicans criticize the plan for high revenues and dipping into the rainy day fund. State Representative Jamie Barton warns of potential market shrinkage, as skill games support local businesses. The fate of this proposal hangs in the balance, with a June 30th deadline for final approval. Additionally, legalizing recreational marijuana could bring in another $729 million.
