PA Headlines | May 1 | Survey results: What Pennsylvanians say is the greatest threat to public health.

from The Morning Agenda · host WITF, Inc.

Researchers have been polling Pennsylvanians for 14 years on their feelings about public health issues facing the commonwealth. This year’s survey from Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion and the Muhlenberg College Public Health program documented a record number of respondents dissatisfied with the overall quality of healthcare in the state. In just a few weeks, Philadelphia will host World Cup soccer games and soon after, the city is throwing a big celebration for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The National Liberty Museum, in Philadelphia, now has an exhibit that shows how sports and democracy go hand in hand. A 14-year-old youth faces arson charges following a rowhome fire in Hanover earlier this week. A rainbow-striped pride flag flying at the Lancaster city rowhome was set on fire Tuesday night and partially burned. Adams County-based Knouse Foods announces it is shutting down its Chambersburg, Franklin County plant by the end of the year. And now it’s time for our weekly segment called The Bright Spot. Every Friday, we share a positive news story that may have gotten lost amid this week's news cycle.  Today’s bright spot is for all the train lovers and history buffs: The world's largest operating steam locomotive will be making several stops in Pennsylvania as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebration. One of those stops is considered a shrine of U-S railroad history, right here in Pennsylvania.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
