 Listeners, here’s what’s making news across Pennsylvania. A major egg recall has hit the state, as Country Eggs LLC’s large brown cage-free sunshine yolks were linked to a multi-state salmonella outbreak. According to the Associated Press, almost 100 people have fallen ill nationwide, including Pennsylvanians. Health officials urge anyone who recently purchased eggs to check product dates and details. On the legislative front, some state lawmakers, including Senator Dan Laughlin and Representative Charity Krupa, are pushing for a change in hunting rules—specifically allowing semi-automatic rifles for hunting big game like deer and elk, an idea already permitted in many other states, according to Lehigh Valley Live. The debate continues over limiting magazine capacity and aligning Pennsylvania with current national hunting practices.

Policy changes at the federal level are also strongly impacting Pennsylvanians. President Trump’s signing of the federal budget bill will result in significant cuts to Medicaid and SNAP food assistance, eliminate thousands of energy jobs, and threaten the closure of rural hospitals, all of which Governor Josh Shapiro says will put vital services for vulnerable groups at risk. The governor emphasizes the state’s inability to offset these cutbacks, warning of tough times ahead for many communities.

In business and economic developments, Westmoreland County is experiencing a wave of new investment and innovation, highlighted by the transformation of the former Alcoa campus into a major data center and artificial intelligence hub led by TECfusions. As reported in Developing Pittsburgh, this project is already generating hundreds of jobs and promises to solidify the area’s reputation as a leader in advanced manufacturing and technology. Additional initiatives, including the Premier Innovation Hub in Murrysville, aim to encourage growth in robotics and support start-up companies in the region. Statewide, the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority has approved nearly $29 million in low-interest loans this year, driving more than $87 million in private investments and supporting at least 148 jobs, according to the Department of Community and Economic Development.

On the community front, Governor Josh Shapiro’s administration continues to invest heavily in education, having secured more than two billion extra dollars for K-12 learning, as highlighted in a recent roundtable with Philadelphia educators. There’s a focus on expanding career and technical education, with new programs providing greater access to apprenticeships and skills training. Meanwhile, upgrades to over 300 school facilities aim to improve learning environments and student safety. In a unique educational story, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that an eight-year-old prodigy is now the youngest student ever to enroll at Ursinus College, studying neuroscience.

Infrastructure and public safety projects move forward across the commonwealth. Local governments and nonprofits are encouraged to apply for a share of $80 million in federal grant funding for transportation and safety improvements, with draft applications due in September, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

Regarding public health, confusion over new federal COVID vaccine access rules led Pennsylvania’s governor to urge swift action. As reported by the State Board of Pharmacy, a recent vote has now restored COVID-19 vaccine access in major chains like CVS, in line with recommendations from trusted medical organizations, ensuring clarity for those who need vaccines the most.

No significant weather events have been reported in Pennsylvania over the last week, but air quality continues to be monitored following a wildfire in nearby Gloucester County, New Jersey, according to Action News Philadelphia.

Looking ahead, listeners should watch for the results of critical budget negotiations, potential state legislation affecting hunting and public health, and ongoing debates about congressional redistricting as political leaders and the courts shape Pennsylvania’s electoral maps.
