January 06, 2023 Episode 44: Pennsylvania House Elects Democrat as Speaker, Who in Turn Changes to Independent
Join The Center Square's Managing Editor Alan Wooten, Executive Editor Dan McCaleb, and Pennsylvania Reporter Anthony Hennen as they discuss that after delays, motions to adjourn, and much uncertainty, the narrowly divided Pennsylvania House of Representatives chose Democrat Mark Rozzi of Berks County as Speaker of the House.

While murders are down compared to a year ago, the level of violence dwarfs recent years, when as few as 277 murders happened in 2016. Pennsylvania will get almost $100 million to improve its public health infrastructure, from employee hiring to IT upgrades.
