In Bill's return from vacation he talked about whether or not the US Government should take a stake in a publicly-traded company, whether or not the ultrarich are paying a lower tax rate than the rest of the US, and if President Trump's Executive Order on burning flags is legal. 

Bill was joined by Lucine Sihelnik, President and CEO of the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance to discuss the group's participation, along with other regional chambers, in a trip to Washington to advocate for continued funding for regional transportation systems...among other topics. 

Bill discussed the city of Reading wanting to purchase land next to First Energy Stadium, the State's budget impasse affecting libraries, foster care, and other services all while state lawmakers aren't back in Harrisburg until after Labor Day, and Russia launches its largest strike on Ukraine in weeks after Trump's meeting with Ukrainian and other European leaders. 

On today's show Bill talked about RACC reaching out to the public for funding, prices rising except for oil and gas, and takeaways from Trump's meeting with Ukraine's president and other European leaders. In the 11 o'clock hour Ron Paplosky of Paplosky's Auto Service and Collision Repair in Sinking Springs joined the show in studio and discussed proper repairs in the auto industry and why it costs so much compared to someone who tries to do it on the fly. 

On today's show Bill discussed the race for the Governor of PA officially is underway, how did the Trump-Putin summit turn out, and a late entrant into the NYC Mayoral race.

Bill talked about Met Ed having good news for southern Berks county residents and businesses, it being 46 days since State lawmakers set a deadline to pass a spending plan for the new fiscal year with both sides being far apart, and President Trump is expected to meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska to discuss the war in Ukraine. 

Bill discussed Reading City Council finding there's no quick fix to filling charter board vacancies, Septa officials saying they're going ahead with cuts in service despite the State Senate's passage of a two-year deal, and Americans are getting priced out of homeownership.

Bill talked about the State Senate passes two years of funding for mass transit that leaves Septa wanting more details, the race of PA Governor may have already begun, and President Trump says he's just "starting in DC," and Democrats who run other cities worry they're next.

Bill discussed the farmer's almanac is out with its winter forecast, the State Senate is back in session today with the budget being at the top of their agenda, and a data center site being proposed in Cumberland County is facing resistance from residents.

On today's show Bill talked about West Nile virus showing up in mosquito samples in Berks county, the price of food has grocery shoppers and restaurant owners worried, and is America's identity as a united nation eroding?
