Budget Impasse Costs Philly, City Hall Bike Lanes & New Historical Markers

Listen Later

It’s the Friday News Roundup! We’re talking about why our schools are losing millions due to a lack of a state budget – and why Stacy Garrity, Pennsylvania treasurer (and gubernatorial candidate), is offering low-interest loans due to the budget impasse. Plus, we chat about the end of AIDS Walk Philly, new historical markers, and a bike lane coming smack in the center of town. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz break down these stories and more. 

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism:
