In the fourth episode of State House Sound Bites, we’re back in the Capitol’s neighborhood coffee shop to talk about one of Pennsylvania’s more stubborn dilemmas: pensions. More specifically, the roughly $70 billion unfunded pension liability.
Capitolwire’s Chris Comisac and the Morning Call’s Steve Esack help make some sense of recent pension-related headlines, and contextualize where the legislature currently stands on the perennial issue.
We’ll also recap a legislative week that included a climactic audit report on the state unemployment compensation system, passage of a raft of liquor expansion bills that face an uncertain future, and an emotional debate over Planned Parenthood funding.
