This week, we’re re-airing five stories you should hear.

In one, Governor Tom Wolf learns the FBI is looking into his administration’s environmental permitting practices.  Plus, reporters in Philadelphia look into badly contaminated drinking water in a charter school, PA Post reports on a proposed community college in Erie, WITF follows up on problems with the state unemployment compensation system, and StateImpact Pennsylvania takes a trip to Scotland to track some of the commonwealth’s shale gas.

Also, here’s a reminder that NewsMatch is ongoing — it’s a matching gift campaign for independent, nonpartisan newsrooms like PA Post, running now until the end of the year. Every dollar is matched three times, so a $10 donation nets $40 for PA Post. If you like this podcast and the work of the entire PA Post team, please take a moment to make a contribution.
