Radio Smart Talk: SEC charges Harrisburg with misleading investors; cyberbullying
Radio Smart Talk for Tuesday, May 7:
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is accusing the City of Harrisburg of fraud for misleading bond investors. The SEC says Harrisburg made misleading statements in a budget report, financial statements, and a “state-of-the-city” address. According to a release from the SEC, most of the violations occurred during the administration of former Mayor Stephen Reed.
It is the first time a municipality has been charged with fraud for misleading investors.
On Tuesday’s Radio Smart Talk, Tara Leo Auchey of Today’s the Day Harrisburg will provide context of what happened and of a reported settlement between the city and SEC.

Also, witf‘s Pushed Around project on bullying continues with a focus on cyber bullying.
Cyber bullying is defined as utilizing technology to repeatedly post hurtful comments, photos, rumors, or threats on social networks or through emails and text messages.
The mental anguish can be just as great for the targets of cyber bullying than it is of those who are victimized by traditional bullying.
Appearing on the program will be Craig LeCadre, Senior Supervisory Special Agent in Education and Outreach with the Bureau of Special Investigations at the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office and Mike Bookser, Emergency Planning and Response Management Coordinator with the Center for Safe Schools.
