SEPTA Funds, Minimum Wage Hike & Legal Weed: Philly's Only GOP State Senator Has Some Thoughts

We’re sitting down with State Sen. Joe Picozzi, who represents the Northeast. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz talk to Picozzi, the only Republican state senator from Philly, about his positions on increasing the minimum wage, establishing a state revenue source for SEPTA, and legalizing cannabis. He also dishes on his relationships with Democrats. Then, we give you a quick rundown on what you should know before heading to the polls for the general election on Tuesday – you can find a guide to help you prepare for election at philly.citycast.fm under “Local Civics.”
