We open Sunday morning with Barry’s take on how Philadelphia and Pennsylvania have changed, from neighborhood safety and the cost of living to crime, education and accountability. Barry shares his thoughts on the differences between generations, the state of American politics, the justice system and the need to put an end to excuses when it comes to violent crime and public safety.
Barry welcomes Pennsylvania State Treasurer and Republican gubernatorial candidate Stacy Garrity for an extended conversation about the state’s economy, rising taxes and the policies of Governor Josh Shapiro. Garrity discusses Pennsylvania’s spending, the state’s growing budget deficit, alleged Medicaid fraud and the challenges facing small businesses. She lays out her proposals to reduce property taxes, lower electricity and utility bills, provide rebates to drivers and eliminate certain property taxes for seniors, veterans and first responders on fixed incomes. Barry also presses Garrity on mental health facilities, drug addiction in Philadelphia, trade schools, educational standards and the need to improve public safety across the Commonwealth.
