Smart Talk: Wolf 1st year, AG Kane, and voters elect Supreme Court justices in 2015
What to look for on Smart Talk Tuesday, January 13, 2015:
“Governor-elect Tom Wolf is going to have a rough first year in office. He faces enormous fiscal and policy challenges, is only the second governor in modern times to have both legislative chambers controlled by the opposition party, and has to work with a legislature more ideologically conservative than any of his predecessors.”
That’s from the latest Politically Correct column written by political analysts Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young.
Madonna appears on Tuesday’s Smart Talk to discuss Wolf’s first year and why the Democrat’s ultimate fate may not be decided by when he proposes change but what he proposes.
Also, the lawyer for Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said over the weekend that Kane didn’t break any laws when her office provided information to a newspaper on a five-year-old investigation last summer. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported last week that a Grand Jury recommended criminal charges be filed against the attorney general relating to secret testimony from a previous Grand Jury. Dr. Madonna provides some context on Kane’s future.
Finally, it may not be the kind of election that excites Pennsylvanians, but voters will choose three state Supreme Court justices in 2015. Smart Talk probes what voters should be thinking about.
