Despite a bad rap, politics sometimes entertains. Thank you, Pa. politicians, for the fun you provide | John Baer pennlive.com/politics/2024/…
A hot-hot congressional race is coming to Central Pa. and Democratic primary voters are about to pick their candidate. Which Pa. Democrat is likely to face Scott Perry, the TV anchor or the military pilot? | John Baer pennlive.com/politics/2024/…
I've been thinking lately about which polls and which polling data are worth thinking about. So, here ya go. Pa. voters’ thoughts about Biden vs. Trump matter more than national polls | John Baer pennlive.com/politics/2024/…

Pennsylvania could afford Gov. Josh Shapiro's proposed spending plan that boosts education and transit funding this year. But sustaining that investment beyond a one year splurge will require filling the commonwealth's long running structural deficit. spotlightpa.org/news/2024/03/p…
Interesting Pew survey shows what R's and D's care most and least about. What we worry about depends largely on whether we’re a Republican or Democrat | John Baer pennlive.com/opinion/2024/0…

If Biden and Trump love America, they should end their presidential campaigns | John Baer pennlive.com/news/2024/02/i… Unhappy with Campaign 2024? Here's a thought.
Pa.’s Legislature is using your money to set records – for itself | John Baer pennlive.com/politics/2024/… My latest take on our "fiscally responsible" Legislature.
In divided government, here's what you get -- bunch of great ideas, bunch of no-can-do's. Welcome to Pa. budget world. Pa. Gov. Shapiro’s big, bold budget is an epic ask for a Legislature used to saying ‘no’ | John Baer pennlive.com/news/2024/02/p…
It’s Bob Casey’s toughest Senate race yet, and he appears to know it | John Baer pennlive.com/opinion/2024/0… This year's big Senate race in Pa. will be different for three-term incumbent Casey.
Those who know big media know big media needs to be better. This is big media’s big challenge in 2024 election season | John Baer pennlive.com/politics/2024/…
