Description

Those dreaded SEPTA cuts begin on Sunday, with still no state budget agreement in sight. We’ll tell you what to prepare for. And school starts in Philadelphia on Monday. KYW Newsradio’s Mike DeNardo tells us how the district is getting ready amidst the SEPTA cuts and a potential teacher strike, plus he previews his new weekly conversation with Superintendent Dr. Tony Watlington. We also hear about Stacy Garrity’s bid for the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania Governor, changes to your PGW energy bill, and a preview of Temple University football under a new head coach.
