Join us every Friday at 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. for Insights with LehighValleyNews.com on WLVR.

Each week, we’re joined by reporters to talk about the stories they’ve been following.

These journalists are experts in their beats and offer you a greater understanding of the stories they’re working on.

This week, News Director Jen Rehill is in the host seat.

She catches up with politics reporter Tom Shortell about Gov. Josh Shapiro’s visit to the Valley this week and his budget address next week.

The governor has big plans to shake up higher education and invest millions in a blockbuster economic development plan.

Jen is also joined by Health and Wellness Reporter Brittany Sweeney.

The news from the health care sector was turbulent this week.

A state Supreme Court ruled Monday that a lower appellate court must decide whether Medicaid should cover abortions across the state.

Brittany gives us reaction to the ruling. She’ll also fill us in on the continuing local nursing shortage.

Listen to both interviews below...
