PA Treasurer Stacey Garrity Slams Shapiro’s 500-Page Health Overhaul And School Choice Flip-Flops

from The Dawn Stensland Show

We kick off with Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacey Garrity in studio, setting the record straight on Governor Josh Shapiro, local energy costs, and the sudden push for data centers across the Commonwealth. Dawn presses Garrity on her recent public statements regarding Shapiro's $20 billion Amazon deal, the lack of local community involvement, and the massive $5 billion structural deficit looming over the state budget. We break down what it takes to protect PA ratepayers, keep energy bills down, and unleash the state’s natural gas reserves to drive lower utility bills and true job growth. We take a deep dive into the major controversies coming out of Harrisburg, from broken promises on school choice to the Health Department’s 502-page regulatory overhaul that bypasses the legislature. Dawn highlights the pushback against new rules that allow officials to conduct searches without warrants, alter medical language, and interact one-on-one with school children without parental consent. We also inspect the recent media handling of local health announcements and explain why transparency from state leadership must remain non-negotiable. The crew moves across key regional policy debates and national developments, including Senator John Fetterman's surprising agreement with President Trump on the strategic importance of domestic AI infrastructure. We address local security, surveillance technology, auto-license plate readers in nearby townships, and the direct impact of interstate energy alliances like PJM. Dawn breaks down the latest political posturing on trade, foreign energy policy, and what Pennsylvania families need to watch as state election season heats up
