One Strike Down, More To Come? Plus: Will the State Save SEPTA?
Description
It's the Friday News Roundup! We're talking about how the city is starting to clean-up from the “Parker Piles” of trash that accumulated during the eight-day District Council 33 strike. Our attention now turns to the fate of SEPTA, which is in Harrisburg’s hands. We also take a sobering look at the recent mass shootings in the city. And as always, we dish on what we’re up to this coming weekend. Executive producer Matt Katz is joined by producer Abby Fritz and Hey Philly newsletter editor Siani Colón.
