This week at NSTA: The Bus Stop - Executive Director Curt Macysyn welcomes a special returning guest Tim DeFoor, Auditor General of Pennsylvania and 2023 AMC Speaker, back to NSTA: The Bus Stop. Curt and Tim discuss his personal and political backgrounds, as well as his path to becoming Pennsylvania’s Auditor General. The duo provide updates on Pennsylvania's financial literacy initiatives, including the continued expansion of the activity book competition. The pair also discuss recent changes in how his office approaches school audits and offers a high-level overview of the Commonwealth’s budget impasse, noting how its effects differ from the disruptions of federal government shutdowns. Curt and Tim then shift to what Tim has been up to outside of work, and the duo discusses how Tim's newest “hobby” has become following his stepson, standout Rutgers recruit Elias Coke, through his senior year in high school. Wrapping up the episode, Curt and Tim reflect on a memorable restaurant Tim has enjoyed while traveling across Pennsylvania, and Curt gives a culinary recommendation for anyone traveling to Austin for the Safety Competition.
