(WHTM) - On This Week in Pennsylvania, we recap the top stories of the week in Pennsylvania politics.
Last week, Governor Josh Shapiro announced that federal funds that were once frozen have now been made available to the state. This came after the governor filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
Also, in recent days, state lawmakers heard from policymakers in appropriations hearings as the governor's budget proposal undergoes its annual review.
Midstate Congressman Lloyd Smucker (R) was also hailed for his efforts in getting a budget deal passed in the House, though it still must go through the Senate. His Pennsylvania colleague, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean, shared her views last week to share her concerns about the deal.
