Full Hour | In today’s second hour, Dom welcomes in State Representative Martina White back onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the debate in Harrisburg over Republican-proposed lifeline scholarships that would allow students in Pennsylvania to freely leave failing schools. Giordano gets an update from White, who tells Giordano that even if Republicans are able to pass this, which may happen this evening, she’s heard that Governor Josh Shapiro would veto the bill if it made it to his desk. Dom is shocked to hear this, with White explaining why he may do something like this, with both discussing the political implications of him caving to progressives on his future election chances. Then, Giordano and White talk about the positives of school choice, explaining the positive changes that would come with implementing the policy, and the freedom this brings for parents who are unhappy with the performance of their child’s school.

Then, Dom welcomes back Wendell Young IV, President of UFCW Local 1776, onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss why he and his Union have come out publicly against the proposal of lifeline scholarships by Pennsylvania Republicans. First, Young clarifies who his union represents, explaining that his members consist of commercial workers, from drug store workers, to grocery workers, to vegetable processors, to the medical cannabis industry, and many more. Then, Dom tells why he loves to bring Wendell Young on the show, telling of their great debates in the past, kicking off a debate around the topic of lifeline scholarships. Young explains why he believes this effort would not help the rank-and-file members of his Union, and tells why he thinks public schools should instead receive higher funding. (Photo by Getty Images)
