## Resource

On this edition of the Center Square Radio Hour, The Tennessee General Assembly voted on a new congressional map on Thursday, a day after protestors attempted to disrupt committee meetings. National teachers unions have spent over $1 billion on political activity and advocacy since 2015, according to a new report by Defending Education. A new report from the Commonwealth Foundation concludes Pennsylvania could have been in a better position in its energy sector had state regulators not spent the last six years “flirting” with a carbon tax program called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the success of which many critics say relies on the fossil fuels it means to curb. And Despite a $27 million settlement with taxpayers in 2022, Lower Merion School District continues to pay top-tier salaries to administrators.
