概要

 Pennsylvania lawmakers introduced a bipartisan housing package on February 2, addressing the states severe shortage with measures to cut zoning barriers, streamline approvals, and boost affordable units, according to the Pennsylvania House Democratic Caucus. State Representatives Jared Solomon, Joe Hogan, John Inglis, and Abby Major highlighted how post-COVID inflation has driven up costs by 42 percent, pricing out families and workers. Governor Josh Shapiro is set to deliver his 2026-27 budget address today before a joint legislative session, prioritizing a housing action plan, energy needs from data centers, and transit funding for SEPTA and Pittsburgh Regional Transit, as reported by Spotlight PA and the governors office. Revenues beat projections by 146 million dollars in January, per the Independent Fiscal Office, signaling economic strength amid debates over cannabis legalization and skill games for new funds.

In business news, UGI Utilities seeks a nine percent base rate hike, adding about ten dollars monthly to bills, according to the Reading Eagle via PennLive. Pennsylvania ranks 12th best for raising families in a WalletHub study, praised for health, safety, education, and child care. Community highlights include the reopening of Philadelphias Independence Hall after repairs, timed for the nations 250th anniversary, with special events like cookie giveaways. The 2026 trout stocking schedule is out, with 3.2 million fish heading to streams and lakes starting February 16, per Fox 43. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday, forecasting six more weeks of winter.

No major recent weather events or public safety crises dominate headlines, though cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh prepare for potential federal ICE actions amid national tensions.

Looking Ahead: Watch for Senate Republican responses to Shapiros budget, primary elections on May 19 reshaping all House seats and more, and the legislative session wrapping November 30.
