Just as Texans are coping with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Floridians are hunkering down as Hurricane Irma grinds up the state. Smart Talk will talk about the cleanup efforts both states will be facing with Kevin King, executive director of Mennonite Disaster Services in Lancaster County.
We'll also hear from two people with Pennsylvania ties living in Florida now. Both dodged the storm without major damage but will describe what they see around them.
Also, a group of conservative state House members have devised a budget plan. "The Taxpayer's Budget" proposes to shift funds around to close the budget gap without raising taxes. State Representatives Dan Moul of Adams County and Seth Grove of York County will join Smart Talk to parse out the details of their plan and discuss other budget options.
