038 - Appropriating Your State Tax Dollars With Dr. Edward Nolan

Send us Fan MailWith one month before the presidential election in the United States, Ian sits down with the former Executive Director of Appropriations for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Dr. Edward Nolan to talk more about his time in the state government. In this conversation, they discuss his role as Executive Director, how a state budget gets drafted, passed, and accounted for, what role lobbyists, politics, and politicians play in the process, the concept of defunding the police and how that could be logistically accomplished if so desired, and more before ending on putting more focus on what races you should be paying more attention to at the local and state level that will have a greater impact on your day-to-day life.
