What to look for on Smart Talk Tuesday, January 26, 2016:
On Monday’s Smart Talk, we talked with you and many others about the national issues that you felt were most important right now.
On Tuesday’s program, we’ll do the same with issues facing Pennsylvania and Pennsylvanians.
There has been a lot of negative political news surrounding Pennsylvania over the past few months — the state has been without a complete budget for seven months, Attorney General Kathleen Kane faces criminal charges while a State Senate committee could decide to remove her from office, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is getting deeper into a scandal that included pornographic, sexist and racist emails.
Those issues may not have an impact on your day-to-day lives but what does? What about property taxes, education, pensions, infrastructure or crime?
We’ll open the phones to ask the question — what state issue is most important to you right now?
Between 9 and 10 a.m., call 1-800-729-7532 or email smarttalk@witf.org to get in on the show.
Joining us are WITF’s Capitol Bureau Chief Mary Wilson and political analyst and pollster Dr. G. Terry Madonna of Franklin and Marshall College.
