Looming SEPTA cuts, grocery prices causing stress, and a community rallies around a man detained by ICE
SEPTA’s budget crisis has reached a tipping point. The transit agency says if the state Legislature does not agree on a budget that provides more funding by August 14, they will have to make significant cuts on August 24. KYW Newsradio’s Mike DeNardo tells us what’s on the chopping block. The U.S. Department of Justice released a list of “Sanctuary” jurisdictions that it intends to sue if they don’t change their immigration policies - and Philly is on it. City Hall Bureau Chief Pat Loeb digs into that and some new city laws. Plus, we talk about PFAS, ICE, grocery prices, and mosquitos with Matt Leon and KYW’s team of reporters.
