Welcome to TheBurg Podcast, a weekly roundup of news in and around Harrisburg.
July 17, 2015: Earlier this week, Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane announced a sweeping set of criminal charges against former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed. The 17 charges, approved by an investigating grand jury, encompass 499 counts including bribery, theft and racketeering. The charges mostly surround Reed’s alleged use of public borrowings to improperly divert funds to personal interests, such as acquiring artifacts for a never-realized network of museums. On this week’s podcast, Larry and Paul talk about the charges, what it was like covering Reed’s arraignment and what’s to come in the continuing investigation.
