The last Smart Talk Road Trip of the year takes us to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg. Inside the Front Street home, we’ll discuss Governor Tom Wolf’s plans and priorities for the next two years. Will Wolf push for raising Pennsylvania’s minimum wage? More money for education? What about a tax on natural gas drilling that has failed to make it through the legislature each year? Other issues that may come up are what the state will do, if anything, with regards to reducing emissions that contribute to climate change and how Congressional district boundaries will be drawn in the future.
First Lady Frances Wolf also joins the conversation to talk about the initiatives and platforms where she is focusing her attention. Those include the arts and education.
The holiday season is a great time to visit the Governor’s Residence, which is decked out with holiday decorations. We’ll have photographs on this site after the show.
