- Nobody wins with these cuts. Not our students. Not workers. Not working families. Certainly not Harrisburg Republicans. These cuts are an attack on working people. We need a budget that funds SEPTA and the other public services we ALL depend on www.audacy.com/kywnewsradio...

- HAPPENING NOW: Philly labor is holding a press conference to call on our elected officials in Harrisburg to get the job down, and pass a budget NOW @pftlocal3.bsky.social
