Delaware Valley Journal

Pennsylvania's Attorney General Dave Sunday (R) joins the Delaware Valley Journal podcast to talk about his priorities in his first weeks in office. The former York County D.A. has already made a trip to the White House -- to talk about the fight against fentanyl -- and is confronting challenges from gun crime in Philadelphia to Medicaid fraud.

He talks about his approach to the job with DVJournal's Linda Stein. And he answers the question that has troubled his office for years: Do people call him "General?"

While natural gas, fracking and fossil fuel production dominate the political conversation in Pennsylvania (particularly as the presidential election approaches), Ken Zapinski, Director of Research and Public Policy, warns about the big energy issue facing the Keystone State:

Not enough electricity. In a conversation with DVJ Reporter Taylor Millard, Zapinski lays out the growing gap between electricity production and demand. The words "brown out" and "blackout" even appear.

How bad is the supply problem? Three words: "Three Mile Island." 

Will data centers and tech hubs outstrip Pennsylvania's power supply?

The conversation starts here.

A new poll from Pinpoint Policy Institute shows Pennsylvania voters strongly support pro-growth policies and reject the “new right” populist economic agenda of bigger government and higher taxes. Pinpoint Executive Director Gordon Gray talks about the poll's findings, including a three-point race between U.S. Sen. Bob Casey and challenger Dave McCormick, and what it says about Keystone State politics.

"Pinpoint’s new poll clearly demonstrates that across the three critical Blue Wall states, both Republican and swing voters strongly embrace pro-growth policies, including lower taxes, fewer regulations, and smaller government." Gray says.
