Budget Secretary Michael Masch

This week's Pennsylvania Newsmakers features an exclusive interview with Governor Rendell's Budget Secretary Michael Masch. Masch, who is at the center of the negotiations with legislators and a key strategist for the Governor, discusses the status of the state budget, slots at race tracks, property tax reform and the Governor's education agenda. He lays out the administration's strategy and positions, as the drama in the state capitol unfolds, with the new fiscal year having arrived with no resolution to many parts of the Governor's agenda. Journalists John Micek of the Allentown Morning Call and Pete DeCoursey of the Harrisburg Patriot join host Terry Madonna.
