Is Our State Government Broken? Senator Saval Explains Budget Crisis
from City Cast Philly · host City Cast
Our state budget was due 107 days ago. Pennsylvania is now the only state in the country with legislators who haven’t approved an annual spending plan. And that has big implications: We can’t fund schools or nonprofits, and the rape crisis center in our city had to shut down its services. Why is this happening? State Sen. Nikil Saval represents parts of South Philly, Center City, Southwest Philly, and the River Wards, and he explains to host Trenae Nuri what’s been happening – or not – in Harrisburg. Has the state budget impasse affected you?
