Flood watch in Central Pa.; Pennsylvanians prepare for the solar eclipse

Voters across the state are telling lawmakers what they want for the future of state policies. A sample of Pennsylvanians across geography, race, age and politics are weighing in on the biggest issues of the day — with some help from an elite university and a rich backer.  

Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen is critical of President Donald Trump’s proposed Medicaid cuts. 

The Pennsylvania Turnpike continues to modernize, as tollbooths begin to come down and interchanges are reconstructed.  

Homer C. Floyd, one of Pennsylvania’s premier civil rights leaders, has died at the age of 89. The long-time executive director of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission died last week in Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County after a prolonged illness. 

Five Lancaster County farms are among 35 Pennsylvania farms in 18 counties being preserved through a 10-million dollar investment by local governments and the Pennsylvania Farmland Preservation Program. 

Researchers are seeing a rise in the tick population in Pennsylvania. That climb is also driving up emergency room visits for tick bites. 

You may have heard them in parts of Pennsylvania — periodical cicadas are out in force. And they’re loud. WPSU’s Anne Danahy reports on a recent walk through Bald Eagle State Park with the cicadas.

“Deliberative Polling” comes to PA.   And deep dives into the world of ticks and cicadas. 

Immigration advocates and union representatives rallied in downtown Pittsburgh this week. Demonstrators were showing solidarity with those in Los Angeles, by protesting the deportation of immigrants. 

The Pennsylvania state House has voted to raise the minimum wage on a county-by-county basis. We explain how the plan would work.

More than 400 young people in Pittsburgh are being dropped from a federal program that provides free job training and education. Many youth are unsure of their next moves.

Coyotes, foxes and crows are already fair game for Pennsylvania hunters on Sundays. But hunters may soon be allowed to chase deer, turkey and bear on all in-season Sundays as well.

State Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding stopped at the Waltz Estate and Winery and Family Farm in Manheim, Lancaster County earlier this week. He announced an investment of over $224,000 in Agriculture Promotion Grants. 

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend, including dozens of locations across Pennsylvania. Rallies are set for Harrisburg, Lancaster, Carlisle, York, Gettysburg and Chambersburg. The No Kings Day of Defiance protests will happen during the military parade in Washington on Saturday for the Army’s 250th anniversary — which coincides with Trump’s birthday. 

And the Pennsylvania state House is pondering a bill that would ban the use of artificial intelligence in political campaign ads. Lawmakers say AI-generated images or videos could undermine the integrity of elections, if the technology is used to misrepresent candidates.
