Senator Jay Costa.

Liquor privatization and pension reform.

I've got a real concern about expanding gaming.

Governor Tom Wolf.

First time I've done this.

Speaker Mike Turzai and Senate Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati in the Capitol newsroom at 2:52pm.

We don't think this is negotiating in good faith.

A 700 million dollar pension increase this year.

Democratic House Minority Leader Frank Dermody and Whip Mike Hanna in the Capitol newsroom 4:20pm.

It's ideology over common sense.

Right now it doesn't look good. Extreme conservatives are in control of the caucuses.
