Back to EpisodesSEPTA Faces Major Cuts Amid State Budget Deadlock
Description
Pennsylvania has been operating without a budget for nearly a month, meaning the commonwealth’s nonprofits, school districts and local governments are in a funding limbo. This also affects SEPTA, which will begin to make serious cuts to service unless the finalized state budget comes with more than $200 million for the system. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Stephen Caruso, who covers politics at the state capitol for SpotlightPA, and Megan Harris, host of our sister podcast City Cast Pittsburgh, to break down how this delay could affect us all.
