Governor Josh Shapiro says a long-awaited state budget deal is expected soon, as Pennsylvania lawmakers continue closed-door talks after missing their July 1 deadline. The budget debate has centered around rising Medicaid costs and the future regulation of skill games, with Governor Shapiro’s $51.5 billion proposal relying on reserve funds while Senate Republicans express concerns about long-term fiscal stability. In response to repeated budget delays, Senator Lisa Boscola is proposing that Pennsylvania return to a two-year budget cycle to improve governmental planning and spending accountability, according to JD Supra. This week, Governor Shapiro signed a package of 20 new bipartisan laws impacting issues from disability terminology updates and veterans’ benefits to environmental protections, public health, and government modernization. Highlights include bills to strengthen veterans’ services, boost support for military families, and make Pennsylvania the latest state to fully repeal its Sunday hunting ban. The new hunting law, signed on July 9, marks a historic shift for hunters and wildlife management, with the Pennsylvania Game Commission preparing to expand Sunday opportunities within the coming weeks.

On the business front, Philadelphia is seeing major investment with Rhoads Industries set to inject nearly $100 million into its Navy Yard operations, creating 450 new jobs and supporting national security through expanded shipbuilding capacity. Governor Shapiro emphasizes that this growth, enabled by state investments and tax incentives, underscores the administration’s focus on advanced manufacturing and economic development. Pennsylvania’s private sector has attracted over $25 billion in new investments since Shapiro took office, most notably a recent $20 billion commitment from Amazon, the largest in state history. Meanwhile, efforts to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety are underway with PennDot allocating $80 million for new infrastructure across the state, aimed at creating safer walkways and bike routes.

In local government matters, Philadelphia city employees are expected to return to work soon after a deal was reached to end a strike that had disrupted trash collection, library access, and other municipal services, as reported by 6abc. In Pittsburgh, the city council has approved an overhaul of the Stop the Violence Trust Fund, maintaining its commitment to a public health approach to reducing crime by supporting community-led anti-violence initiatives.

Community issues remain in focus with hearings set to begin July 21 on the closure of nine public school buildings, decisions that district officials say are necessary for reorganization. Additionally, Philly Community Wireless is distributing new outdoor WiFi hotspots to connect more North Philadelphia residents, promoting digital inclusion for those lacking reliable internet at home. Infrastructure improvements are underway statewide, with substantial funds targeting both safety and economic vitality.

Severe weather has impacted southeastern Pennsylvania over the last 24 hours, triggering flash floods that damaged homes and businesses, with local authorities responding to property losses and heightened safety risks. 6abc also reports tornado warnings in neighboring Delaware counties, highlighting an ongoing need for vigilance as summer storms persist.

Looking ahead, listeners should watch for developments as lawmakers finalize the state budget and as the Game Commission announces new Sunday hunting dates. Key school closure hearings and infrastructure funding rollouts will also shape the state’s immediate future. Thank you for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe.
