SEPTA didn’t get funded. Fares will increase on January 1, 2025. This falls on the PA Senators and PA House of Representatives along with Governor Shapiro. Time to bring everybody to the table and get SEPTA funded. It is crucial to PA and Philadelphia.

President Trump and Elon Musk’s reckless cuts to essential nutrition programs have led to local organizations like Harvesters—The Community Food Network having truckloads of food cancelled, preventing Missouri families from keeping food on the table. This chaos must end. kcur.org/news/2025-03-2…
