The Area's Top Politicians Talk Show for the 11th Year Volpe Report f FOX 56 SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM SPEAKER: REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE GETS THINGS DONE Despite having a razor-thin majority of one, Pennsylvania's Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Joanna McClinton-the first woman to hold that post-says with a great deal of pride that every bill that has come out of the House under her tenure has been bipartisan. Speaker McClinton represents the 191st District in Philadelphia and Yeadon and Darby in Delaware County. She is the Guest this Sunday on The Volpe Report at 10:30 am. on FOX 56. It is budget time in the Capitol, and the Legislature is under the gun to fully and fairly fund education after a Commonwealth Court Judge ruled that dozens of school districts were being short-changed, later determined to be $5.4 Billion. Speaker McClinton said the end result of the budget will see the largest ever investment in public schools for grades K-12. Public safety is high on Mrs. McClinton's agenda, too. She said she would like to get legislation banning untraceable "Ghost Guns". These are weapons purchased piecemeal via the Internet, all of which have no traceable numbers. According to the Speaker, ranks in police departments-state police included-are shrinking due to the inability to attract applicants. If a model program being tested in Philadelphia pans out, it could dramatically change the recruitment procedure.
