Pa. Democrat and Republican talk budget, SEPTA funding and skill games

The battle over Pennsylvania’s budget finally came to an end in November as lawmakers agreed to a spending plan more than four months behind schedule. The budget allowed billions of dollars to start flowing to critical organizations across the state. Gov. Josh Shapiro will have to propose his next budget a few months from now, however. In the latest episode of Battleground Politics, Lauren Mayk speaks about the budget with Pennsylvania State Rep. Jordan Harris, a Democrat representing Philadelphia who is also the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. They also discuss what's next for SEPTA amid its funding crisis. Lauren also spoke with Pennsylvania State Sen. Tracy Pennycuick, a Republican representing parts of Berks and Montgomery counties who is also a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
