Pa. election officials call for reform to voter registration drives. And amid public outcry, Chester Co. certifies Nov. election results. 

Midstate Congressman Lloyd Smucker is emerging as an early favorite to be elected the next leader of the influential House Budget Committee.

Without fanfare, Pennsylvania has decided to limit access to popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic for residents covered by the state's Medicaid plans.

A federal judge in Boston has ordered the government to restore Medicaid funding to health care centers that also provide reproductive health care for women, including abortions.

President Trump plans to visit Pennsylvania this week to highlight his effort to reduce inflation.

Newly introduced legislation would require specialized teams to examine why older Pennsylvanians die during open abuse and neglect investigations.

Legislation approved by the state House recognizes the link between good nutrition and recovery from serious diseases.

And a deeper dive:

This year, President Trump pushed through new subsidies for coal mining in his effort to boost coal and steel production in the US. But as the case of one proposed mine in Pennsylvania shows, people who live near them aren't always on board.

A Midstate Congressman is a contender to chair influential House Budget Committee. And a Pa. coal mine controversy.

Chesapeake Bay officials have elected Gov. Josh Shapiro to lead a regional agreement to help clean and restore the waterway which gets its largest source of freshwater from Pennsylvania. The first-term Democrat will take the reins of the Chesapeake Executive Council at a tumultuous time for the forty-year-old partnership.

A growing number of people are struggling to pay utility bills as the price of electricity soars. Many Pennsylvania residents cannot be disconnected, starting this month.

A bill requiring Philadelphia establishments to charge customers 10 cents for paper bags recently became law.

The Trump administration has reversed course again on a new air pollution rule for coke oven plants. The White House is now granting two-year waivers on the rule, which affects U.S. Steel.

A 26-year-old hunter was shot Tuesday morning, rescued from a remote area of Juniata County and taken to an area hospital, where he died of his injuries. The Pennsylvania Game Commission says the man was part of a hunting party of 24 people.

A progressive group is targeting two Senate Democrats and an independent senator who voted to confirm some of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees. The group "Demand Justice" has launched a weeklong advertising campaign against Democrats John Fetterman and Maggie Hassan and independent Angus King.

As pharmacy closures continue across Pennsylvania, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is questioning how the Shapiro administration is following through on the promises of a 2024 law created to support pharmacies.

And some news that affects WITF, our sister newsroom of two years at LNP Lancaster Online, and Pennon - our parent organization. Pennon will be gifting LNP Lancaster Online to a newly formed nonprofit, Always Lancaster, to be led by award-winning journalist David Greene.
