It’s the end of October, which can only mean one thing: it’s Pawpaw season in Central Pennsylvania!
Oh, and there’s a new issue of TheBurg Magazine, which hits newsstands today. And the deadline is nearing for Harrisburg to pass an Act 47 exit plan. There’s no shortage of news to keep up with this week, but TheBurg’s editor in chief Larry Binda and city reporter Lizzy Hardison recap it all in the newest episode of TheBurg podcast.
We start by discussing the recent house committee hearing on Harrisburg’s tax bill, which would let the city exit Act 47 once and for all. Is it doomed to die on the House floor? We also place bets on the upcoming appointment of a new member of Harrisburg City Council. Stay tuned until the end for a spirited discussion of Pawpaws, America’s forgotten fruit!
